I Have a Dream

I lay my head down on the cloud and close my eyes,
There seems no need for goodnights, Im expecting no surprise,
I'm not going anywhere, but i know i'll travel in my mind,
I'll visit all my favorite places on this earth you'd never find,
 
I love to feel away, in a world all my own,
It's what had helped me form myself, It's the way that i have grown,
I share this with my friends, in imaginary lands,
Although i know created by subconscious i feel the vibrations from the bands
 
As the music in my head continuously rings,
I always stand in awe as the people stand to dance and the gorgeous woman sings,
Not any ordinary woman, a fairy some would say,
using the voice, all her own, in an extraordinary way
 
I listen, lost in awe, as the scene begins to fade away,
Unexpectedly I'm tossed into a new reality full of sadness, colored gray,
Here I am not unfamiliar having visited before,
I have walked through these haunted hallways, ventured through every door,
 
The rooms contain the bones and ghosts that haunt me, i keep them all at rest,
It's not that I like the pain it brings, it's just what i know is for the best,
This place reminds me of the past, where i will rarely venture through,
This place holds the memories of anger and regret, this is where they grew
 
I close my eyes afraid, although I've tried to hide the fear,
I feel that i must show it and release it now to make my vision truly clear,
When my eyes they slowly open, I'm not anywhere i was,
I'm laying in my bed, worried head, feelings in a buzz
 
I love escaping sometimes, but i thank god for my strong soul,
And while i can escape life while i sleep, only awake do i feel whole,
And I think I like it better, the real over the fake,
As long as we can teach this world to give not only take.

Oh this is smoother, dreamier write for you, the light and dark are still there, but the words seems like a rocking ship on waves rather than a storm. I love your explorations between real and fake. well done :)
