Dream So Real

I had a bad dream
That seemed so real
and when I had awakened
Still that I could feel

The hurt that I was given
The tears that I had cried
The memory of the moment
my heart within me died

I awoke to these emotions
of jealousy and fear
My pulse was quickly beating
as if it all were here

Here in the world I live
The hours I'm awake
I prayed it wasn't true
I prayed for my souls sake

But yet I still could feel
The pain within my mind\
This dream was living on
and I do not like it's kind

It crumbles all your hopes
and builds upon your doubt
while in it you just whisper
when you need to scream and shout

All friends you had were fakes
all love you had were lies
and when you rise from sleep
you wipe hard around your eyes

You want to be awake
and leave the world of dreams
but the memory persists
and nothing is as it seems

You hold anger to the people
Who hurt you as you slept
you don't trust them any more
Because no promises were kept

All those you love and care for
Had turned and left you quick
as you stood there in your dream
heart broken, sad, and sick

You kept quiet in the morning
not sharing how you feel
because you know that these emotions
like the dream, were not so real

But don't laugh it off and claim
it was all within your mind
It's where you store your fears
It's a place that you can find

The doubts you really feel
The things you hate the most
They visit in your dreams
Just like a nightly ghost

You push them down all day
convinced that their unreal
when really all they're saying
Is this is how you feel

So find a way to cope
and adjust to what you find
because the dream that was so real
Is really in your mind
