Dreams

They torment me from the moment I lay to rest; Exposing my greatest fears and insecurities. Lest I forget and suppress the pain in my chest, My dreams would surely remind me. With their tricks they mock my humanity; Unpacking all that I’ve put away. With their tricks they play me scenes to mock my sanity; Thinking I’d be better off that way. They tell me truth and they tell me lies All knotted with each other. Leaving me at great demise And all my happiness a plunder. I cannot tell you all my dreams I know you’d understand And I fear they may be right; Even with the visions I reprimand, They’re replayed here in plain sight.
