Nightmare

I close my eyes and drift into dreams
no reality here, nothing’s as it seems
my imaginations queen, dictates how things shall be
earthly rules don’t apply here, it’s simple you see
but the water isn’t wet, the sun isn’t warm
the food has no taste, the blood doesn’t clot
what you see isn’t real
you open your eyes and it all disappears
you awake to your pain, your problems and fears.
