Dreamer
Thoughts are just thoughts,
Dreams are just dreams
Thoughts and dreams can't hurt you,
At least that's what people say.
What if those thoughts bear hatred to you?
People act on thoughts,
Their thoughts might harm you,
Or might give you joy.
What do you do when your own thoughts harm you?
When they confuse you,
Drive you insane
When they affect everything,
Including your dreams
Our thoughts, our feelings, and our fears,
Are manifested in our dreams.
When you wake up crying,
Or wake up screaming,
And with a rushed heartbeat.
But sometimes our dreams are happy,
Our dreams let us have what we cannot have.
Keep in mind,
In the end, thoughts are just thoughts
And, dreams are just dreams.
