My Dream World
When the time comes to wake
I don't want to leave a dream
I do not believe it is "fake"
If it is then I don't want reality
The dream world is real
These emotions that I feel
The Comfort , the pain, the sadness,
The bliss, the courage, and the fear
Sometimes they give me pleasure
Other times I feel hurt
In this other realm
I do not try to escape
Regardless of the landscape
You may think I'm insane
No matter what I feel pleasure or pain
Still I wish to remain
This reality is true
Even if a "nightmare"
The feelings are real but not the same
You never feel the small anxieties
That you could never heal
The petty things are gone
No need for the trivial
Focused on the vital
While in this dimension
Sometimes you are strong
Able to win any fight
In every disagreement you are right
Other times you are weak
And lose every fight
In every debate you are always wrong
Unlike all the stories
A dream is not without worries
And "nightmare" will not always scare
The pain that you feel
Can hurt more than if "real"
Pleasure can also be much greater
I wish I could remain in a dream or "nightmare" forever
