Forever Changed

Other people’s nightmares and night terrors do not interest me Or persuade, coax or encourage me to have my own. I refuse to acknowledge their existence. Others tell me cryptic tales, sharing morbid woes. I slumber as peacefully as a newborn colt Dreaming of the good life A bobcat’s scream changes me forever

Some have OPM syndrome (Other People's Money, which they spend). You, at least, don't have OPN (Other People's Nightmares Syndrome). ~ Robert Kett

That's do it, too. Or, to hear a pack of hyenas while you're sleeping in the African bush!
