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
