Nightmare
I woke up from a nightmare into another nightmare
As the lights swooned and the clouds became clear
I thought morning came
But it was the beginning of another nightmare
The sun shines, the wind blows, birds are singing, farmers are farming,
I thought morning came
But it was all another nightmare
Should I not have woken up?
Should I have stayed in the first nightmare?
Do nightmares become better?
Or it gets worse?
The brightness gives the assurance that a bright new day is here
But the nightmare continues
It squashes the hope I have.
But I need to sleep,
I need to continue sleeping
No matter how long the night is
No matter how many times I fall into other nightmares
I need to continue sleeping
Because
One day, I will wake up
I will wake up into a bright morning
I will wake up into a new day
I will wake up
And it would not be another nightmare
I would have really met the morning.
