Dreams
Some people dream to create an alter reality
To escape the staleness of everyday life
when I dream I see the truth
The truth of who I am
Who i can’t be
Everything that i choose to be blind to
in the waking hours of the day
is revealed to me once the shadows come
Its like looking into a mirror
that only shows the ugliness of life
As if the light of day doesn’t make them clear enough
my Abuela said it was a gift
what kind of gift makes you wish for the peace of death
