From Dreams To Nightmares Poem by Alanna Flynn

A time to let my mind take control.
No boundaries or limits,
No end to the road before me.
Happiness at my fingertips,
Moving and tracing along the outline of his lips.
A fantasyland waiting to be explored.

In the matter of seconds,
Just long enough for a single yawn…
That world can be turned upside-down.
Or bottom-side up?
A dizzy array of emotions.

Fears becoming reality.
The monster under your bed is now staring you down,
Standing right in front of you.
What to do?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
No way to wake up and keep those dreams tucked inside.

Nightmares. loneliness, panic, scares.
Creative illusions. joy, euphoria, free of cares.

Dreams are like whispering what’s really on your mind…
But being too fearful to shout it out loud.
