The Effects of Media On a Traumatised Brain

I had the strangest of dreams 
They happend in the land overseas 
Usually called the land of the free
Even though I have never been 
There were familiar people and daddy issues
My father tried to pick some prostitutes 
Then puked on my bed 
In real life he is a strong christian 
Familiar sins , disorders, secrets and  bad feelings 
My childhood crush was trans sexual 
I did her like I Wanted to impress her 
Rubbed her dick then did the deed  I was Into that
I felt some shame but I am glad it happened 
I see no sin in that except the things we do for love 
In real life my girlfriend is sleeping cute like a bear
It is so sad  there really is no God here 
A whole dispenser water bottle was full of Bourbon liquor
Ash on the table it looked like we had a party it was clear
In real life  am not even American
Yet My dreams happen in America
Is this just media or am I going to need a doctor 
Is it just Netflix plus Pornhub and a dirty crush on Contra
It is just media and maybe I should keep the trauma 
Gives me nice poems from a America 
In real life it's 2am in Kenya
