Haven of Dreams

As I drift off to sleep
I’m about to reach 
My one safe place
My haven of dreams

This imperfect escapism is perfect for me
My only sanctuary

My dreams create the real me
Who I am inside 
My real identity

Unlike my conscious being
Where my fears and anxieties
Are all at once tormenting me

I wish my dreams could follow me 
Into a new awakening
Destroying this self hate I am suffering 
And change the dark path I keep following 

So for now I will keep within reach
My haven of dreams 

As again I drift off to sleep 
To my one safe place 
My haven of dreams
