Sweet Dream ©
By T. Chris McLain
Wake up and rub my eyes
My fading dream is no surprise
Wishing right away it would return
These days I need to dream
I've grown accustomed, it would seem
To fantasizing things for which I yearn
It takes me from this place
This evil monster with no face
My imagination sets me free
But where to draw the line?
A poisoned fruit still on the vine
Surely my salvation starts with me
The voices in my head
Are ravenous, and must be fed
Otherwise they'll make me go insane
So I go back to sleep
Before the voices start to weep
Wakefulness has now become my bane...
