Living Nightmare
“Waking Dream”
“Living Nightmare”
Click clack, the keys float as the words appears.
Begin to swirl I start to twirl my life.
It spins around my mind in a sudden
tick-tock the clock it goes around in time.
Swish swoosh, a dream it floats distant memory.
The past is here amidst my mind tortured.
Stinging me from inside my false nightmare.
Drip-drop, the sound of blood rings out
As memories fade and play aloud.
It drowns my fears cascade my tears they’re yours
and yours are mine drip-drop tick-tock swish-swoosh,
Click-clack I wake sweat breaks around my neck,
I’m back, you’re here with me.
Although I called you, my nightmare, even when you were my hero.
Thank you, for you and you for me because you are my dream,
and they were my nightmare.

Titles and achievements fade,
Character is what endures.
Understand function, less dependent on instructions.
Understand systems, less dependent on precedent.
Manage risk, useful rather than reckless.
