NIGHTMARES

dreams that frighten us
feelings in dreams
are so much more intense
our minds aren't distracted by
our other five senses
when we have a dream
that is frightening
it is even more intense
then anything that could
possibly happen
while we are awake
our dreams express
our deepest feelings
a nightmare
is a symptom
of something amiss
deep within ourselves
I don't remember
ever having a nightmare
that frightened me
so much that I woke up
Im sure it has happened
but I don't recall it
maybe my mind filters
out my dreams
because I only remember
tiny bits and pieces
my mind must be full of something
else
maybe it's reality
Im constantly thinking
about things
pondering things most people
don't really care about
but I like to think about them
Im curious about
why we even exist
what is the meaning of life
why do people have nightmares
I don't know
a nightmare is just a dream
an extremely powerful one
I try and follow
the theory
that everything happens for a reason
I am afraid of nightmares
maybe thats why I never dream
sometimes
I feel like
my life is a living nightmare
maybe someday
Ill wake up and realize
it was all just a dream
