Nightmares

A Poem by Kenneth Lopez

Is this a nightmare?

Asleep you are, in a dream afar.
Unaware of anything in you're dreams.
Nothing in it, is as it seems.
You feel no pain but you see it.
You see you're self insane but you are fit.
What you know about life and truth and being free
Is no longer true, you're mine has no clue.
your deepest sweetest thoughts.
Turn into the worse images of your life.
And though threw you're life you've fought.
These thoughts are like a poisioned knife.
All you feel is you're crazy heart.
The only thing thats ripping you apart.
Trying to take you away from this part of your head.
You awake, with sweat running down your face.
You shout and look, your safe in your bed
With reality set your back in your place.
