Gremlin

Life surreal living unmedicatedly admittedly I traded dreams for no nightmares side effects included a 1,000 mile stare looking out windows for rain when there was no humidity in the air trapped inside wanting to hide when there was no seeker for miles Paranoid that a gremlin had multiplied after being fed after midnight Now, everytime I close my eyes imprints of bad dreams remain paused on the backs of my eyelids as if my mind was buffering dark as it was vivid I opened my eyes to see if the movie would play and the room remained unchanged, The question I ask is quite simple Was it a dream and why did I wake up staring out the window, wet and crumbs all in my beard? To dream without fear and look with no stare.
