Nightmares

The dreams that we all hold dear,
for must of us they all just disappear.
Put on this fake smile,
when your not alright.

We all hope that Dreams do come true.
But the realization of fact,
they never do.

Nightmares are the things that come back.
With every day I feel like going away,
never looking back.

The Nightmare that haunted me so much,
came to my life.
I feel lost inside
and lie to myself saying,
"Everything's going to be alright."

Sad to say I don't think thats true for me,
and I must leave myself again.
With every heavy breath,
and every minute again,
I see everyone's dream come true.

Now me here lying down,
and feel like getting kicked.
If only dreams did come true,
but now only Nightmares engulf,
my life.
