AN ALTERNATE REALITY

                                                                   You fall asleep, then… you're awake

Stuck in an alternate reality you're unsure is fake

Because until you catch up with your mind and its tricks

Those subconscious moments are going to feed the nonsense 

Your dreams start to run a muck in your brain and do what they may

Your fantasies of the night are finding a way

They’re forcing vivid imaginations, dreams running astray 

Resulting in your sneaky fantasies blooming like a flower

However, those same Flower dreams pass with the hour

And ultimately catch up with the tricks in your mind

Now you're a conformed lucid dreamer, controlling the night

You’re conscious in your dreams

Yes!  your subconscious knows

The reality you want is coming to a close

The scene starts to thin becoming opaque 

The transition is swift...you find you’re awake

Your sleeping nights turn into restless days

When nostalgia hits and your daydreams start to play

Reality twists:  you are not okay

Waiting for the next night... to be in control again

You’re beat up.  You’re tired, and it’s not good for your soul

Return to your dreams...release your soul
