I Drown In My Dreams Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

When I go to bed Every nighttime, I start dreaming about things That I see in my daytime Like things we see everyday... Either I get dreams or some of my pretty dreams Suddenly turn into nightmares... I dream about drowning in that Big sea of my life Without any chance to survive... Drowning in my dreams is as scary as What it happens in one's real life... My dreams take me away Into other worlds of the unknown Just to let me feel lonely in my ordeals Without any chances to survive... Life's burdens have imposed themselves On me like anything that is heavier than one's expectations... All dreams take us away Into unknown worlds that bewilder us With their cruelty anytime... I always drown deeply in the austere world Which the dreams take me to... I struggle, but All in vain just to survive... My whole dreams copy what usually happens To me in my real life... We get lost greatly in our dreams Simply because we are skilled swimmers.... Our dreams don't care about us Like flying times that don't care about us... ____________________________________________________________________
