Can'T Remember To Dream
I’m only okay in my sleep
When I’m far away
From my dreams
The ones I see
With eyes wide open
The delusions that
Keep me running
Pushing
Battling
With racing heart
Racing mind
No rest in sight
Afraid to dream
Even at night
Because of the half memories
Half feelings
Half words on my lips
Upon rising
That leave a bad taste
On the back of tongue
In the back of my mind
Like a bully’s venom
Spit in the face of the victim
And as I fight back
The thoughts that
Come with the light
I have to remind myself
Even Jesus cried
And even Jesus refused
To like dying
So why can’t I refuse
To like waking
When I’m so afraid
Of living
Because even in my sleep
I can’t remember to dream
