The Sad Truth of Waking Up

I wrote this after having a particularly upsetting dream.

Hurt, pain, torture
You're not the only one
Crying.

Outlined in black and white
Two sides of the same story
Neither truth
Neither lie
Read the silver lining
But don't follow it
Dreams only happen when you're asleep
You forget them upon waking anyway.

Such depth and power in your words.
