When I Close My Eyes

Have you ever had a dream where....
It’s the most scariest ever?
You’re sweating. Really sweating.
Unable to move
You cry for help
Nothing happens
You awake. Relieved!
It’s only a dream

Or have you ever had a dream where....
It’s the most comforting ever
You’re happy. Really happy.
Unable to express
You tell everyone
Everyone is so pleased
You awake. Horrified!
It’s only a dream....

I like this write and the way it has the opposite outcome at the end of each stanza. Very clever.
