A Dream

A dream I've been wishing to come true
A dream of escaping this endless blue.

A dream felt even if I'm fully awake
A dream I've been living each day.

A dream pinching with excruciating pain
A dream, no, a reality I can't believe happening.

A dream that has stayed in my life for years
A dream that's full of tears.

A dream killing and burning me at night
A dream of darkness, I'm grasping for the light.

A dream in my heart it churned.
A dream - a nightmare it turned.

A dream? A nightmare? A reality?
Truth never matters, I just want to be free.

I enjoy your poem in the sense that you could paint the fantasy of a nightmare in vivid images. but I would appreciate if you consider the topic in a more positive sense. dream is always linked with hope and optimism, I think.

Well, there are good dreams and bad dreams, what I wanted to portray here is painful experience I wish didn't happen. Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it.

I liked the fact that we all get confused in the end as to if it was reality of of the otherside of the world, nice piece.
