A Dreamers Contradiction

Fingertips reach for the ceiling

My mind surrenders to the past

Images form a shape

From the shadows that I cast

Though time is moving slowly

My mind is racing pretty fast

At this pace I wonder

can I survive or just outlast

The pull is pure and strong

My will succumbing to the call

I turn to run away

Lose my footing and I fall

Into a wall of flowers

Yearning to bask in moonlight rays

My reflection now unclear

I see something resembling my face

It mimics what do

But something is wrong - I’m feeling strange

My room is not the same

Everything completely rearranged

My voice is not my own

Sounds like a songbird leave my mouth

I try again to speak, but only musics coming out

The image of my body lying peacefully in bed

While a mirage of marching bands play symphonies inside my head

I lay perfectly still

Like I’m frozen or I’m dead

I feel each emotion coming for me

Like a raging sea of dread

Someone - please come wake me up before the sun breaks through the blinds

Save me from the things I keep locked up here, inside my mind

Real or a dream- I simply can no longer tell

Reality is my minds latest fiction

My life’s a constant struggle, stolen from a movie screen

A nightmare or a restless dreamers contradiction
