Dreams

By Chrysta Friday

Dreams lined up against the wall…
Which one will I choose tonight?
Will it be about meadows filled with flowers?
Or will it turn into a nightmare?
Starting with a beautiful night…
Ending in disaster…
I want the one with flowers.
I want my life to be a dream
Filled with nothing but happiness

But no, I get a life filled with pain
Why oh why can’t I just live a normal life?
No pain no screams
Just once I would like a calm, peaceful day
Not filled with sorrow, pain, and misery
The only way I get that…
Is in my dreams
