Dreams

Dreams
The thought gleams
An unknown story every night
All while you are snuggled up tight
A vacation from real life
Every night
Except tonight
My mind won’t take flight
It won’t let me escape
So while everybody else gets to dream
I’m more awake than I seem
Stuck in a cruel thing we all face every day
Reality…
At least I can fantasize about dreaming
And leaving my thoughts gleaming
