nightmares are all I’ve ever known and recognized,

they posess my every waking hour

dreams can be a truly frightful thing,

a source of consolidation of memories

nightmares are like scary movies,

they both simulate threatening situations

and allow our adrenaline to rush,

coursing through our bodies

nightmares are misinterpreted as soon as they are spoken,

we always think bad of them,

since they are known for having a significant effect on your well being

however, it’s just the way our body is telling us

that our anxiety and trauma hasn’t been fully worked out

dreams are like reality,

they both involve what we experience

and reflect from recent events

no matter if it was old or new.

dreams are never misinterpreted as soon as they are spoken,

when we hear about dreams,

we always think well of them,

since it’s similar to a getaway with no cost

so nightmares are all I’ve ever known,

that’s for sure.

but maybe, just maybe,

I’ll be able to dream once again,

and leave my nightmares behind
