Adreamed

Escapism relatable to anyone suffering from a bad day after a particularly wonderful night of dreams.

If I dream of far off plains
and misty headed mountains
or perhaps of vast woodlands
with faeries and fountains
Then am I to be of blame
when I wake with a frown?
For the world I've woken to
would merrily cast me down.
Allure though it does possess
I'd sooner fall off to sleep
to escape to lands of old
with towers high and dungeons deep.

If I dream of beauty fair
and legends of my hist'ry
or adventures that delve
into haunted mystery
Then am I to be of blame
when with a frown I wake?
For the world I've woken to
Should certainly see me break.
Though joyous this place can be
I'll be more beatific with dreams
there I journey free of doubt
unshackled from Awake's regimes.

If I stay and don't wonder
trapped in the farce I'm 'living'
and smile as though I'm content
you'll find my grin misgiving
As I'm not accountable
for what actions I must take
to convince you and others
that I'm happier awake.
You watch me with great concern
as if my thoughts are dismal
but if you watch whilst I sleep
you'll see that I am blissful.
