Dreaming
I’m in a dream.
It’s a bit cliche, but it works for me.
In this dream, I can practice telling the truth.
I can tell them about all my mistakes, and how I’m so sorry, and please don’t be disappointed.
Their faces morph a bit.
I explain and explain.
But I think I’m just repeating myself.
Dreams are like that.
I don’t know what else to say.
They don’t either.
They just hold my hands.
I wish I could feel it, but it’s hard to feel in dreams.
I’m confused, but not scared.
I feel free to explore my wavering surroundings.
Because nothing here is real.
When I wake up…
This dream will fade quickly.
In a week or so.
Which is when this dream will end.
