Illusions and Nightmares

An Illusion
Life is an illusion
Different from what you should see
Hidden by smoke and mirrors
Is the true meaning of life

Reality becomes muddled by dreams
Dreams invaded by nightmares
Becoming so that you can't tell
What is real anymore


Nightmares
Sat up in the middle of the night

When I woke up screaming

Things that come and haunt me

Never really go away

Dream of a life where nothing

Nothing, goes wrong
But those dreams
Turn into nightmares

Horrifying, ghoulish images
Fill me with terror
Come up in my memory
When I least expect it
