Nightmares Start Like Dreams Poem by Conna Rice

Things aren't always what they seem; 7
Nightmares start out just like dreams.7
First impressions are deceiving; 8
Sometimes seeing is believing.8
Don't let this dream come true; 6
Keep it from entering reality.10
So never let go, whatever you do,10
Or you'll be lost for eternity.9
Your troubles seemed so far away,8
But now they're here to stay.6
Your only hope is to pretend 8
It will eventually end.8
Opening your eyes to the light; 8
Wake up from this eternal night.8
The truth is there for you to see; 8
It's not a fantasy.6
