In sleep
I find relief
An escape from the corridors of reality’s harshness
Where voices command my confidence with compelling demands
And racing thoughts are never ending
Inflicting silent pain
As I question my existence
In sleep
I create a world that’s mine alone
Where seeds of hope are sown
At last, I taste happiness
A heaven I’ve built for my mind’s rest
At last, a place where peace exists
