Dreams and Nightmares

Suck it up
go to sleep
face your nightmares
or your dreams
Dreams will come
Dreams will fade
Nightmares will come
Nightmares will haze
forget it all
live in the moment
sleep well, sleep tight
remember that
tonight is tonight.


This is about living in reality and facing your fears and dreams head on but not lingering in stuff that is unreal. I am bad about living in daydreams.

Endless Halls

Wastefully wandering the endless halls
watching the steps, afraid to fall
each door looks the same
turning in circles, I wonder who to blame
everywhere I turn, the walls are lined with mirrors
scared of my own reflection, I scream out in terror
Help Me! Help Me! I can't get Out!
...but no one can hear me, silent is my shout.

This one was inspired by my dreams, how sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts. It feels like I just wander the halls in my mind, opening doors as I come to them. Feels like I can get stuck in my own head that way and who's to blame? only myself.

Daze of Days

I sit in my dimly lit room
shadows dancing along the walls
my own eyes staring back at me
reflecting...what?...I don't know.
I dreamt a dream last night
it was crazy just like me
and I lingered on that dream today
wishing it to be
shadows and light go hand in hand
I was the light... I am the light!
dreaming dreams, I am good at
making dreams come true
not so much
but here I sit anyways
dreaming.

This poem I wrote one day after feeling annoyed at myself for always letting my imagination run away with me into a dream world. Seems like I'd rather be in some dream world I create than in this world where I'm bound to live.
