Nightmare

we all have them

You’re trapped in your nightmare

You escape.

You get away.

You run to the keyboard,

pouring out your fear

your exhaustion

your ecstasy.

.

“The walls are closing in.”

You typed and typed

until the page turns

until you hit RETURN.

.

The walls aren’t closing in.

At full speed,

it was you

heading for them,

running and running.
