Dreams Or Nightmares

I enjoy escaping this world and it’s reality, At night when I go to bed and then off to sleep, In which there is not hate or hunger or brutality, As away from my mind that reality I do I sweep. I close my eyes and then I escape in a trance, To the place where happiness and joy is the theme, I am happy and in love as I have found a new romance, But, to arrive there, I must first dream. I enjoy taking a nap when I am on a break, So, that I can escape once again into a dream, Where I have no worries, I truly hate being awake, While dreaming, I am not weak or poor, but supreme. Some people will say that I am dreaming my life away, But, then my dreams our mine and they are not theirs, While being awake I am no one, but everyone’s prey, So, I would rather dream than to have my nightmares.
