Flying Through Hybrid Dreams

In sleep I fly
Way up high
Without fear
Without worry
Being strong and proud
Smiling like never before

To the top of the clouds
I roam to a new slumbering abode
A home beyond the nightmares
That once plagued this mind’s wellbeing

But will it last?
Doubts do come
But for now I shall embrace this
With every last beat of my heart

Awoken by the reality of misplaced fortune
Who am I? Someone different from the rest
Behind walls so high in contempt
But who is at fault?
I am not full of blame

Dreams cannot always be right there
They can become thorns in my side
Oxymoron’s most gifted metaphor
Disguised as mirages
Practical jokes of twisting woes
Penetrating deep into this heart’s misfortune

In wake these visions cannot fly
So much fear of heights
Feeling low
Dragging these eyes into obstructed views

Hitting rock bottom
Imprisoned by this torment within
Feeling so distant and cold
In this place where home
Becomes forlorn

Voices around
Saying I am not of their kind
Origins so distant in time
Dialogues most morbid crimes
Drowning these thoughts to hopelessness

But why should these negative thoughts win?
Cannot let them vanquish these dreams
Learning to swim through hope
So life can be better than before

Dreams and nightmares
Will come and go
Effecting these emotions
Trading off with one another
Giving lessons to this very soul
As this heart strengthens
To the pinnacle of an all aspiring epiphany

One day
I shall be stronger
All fear will be let go
As I will grab life’s hand
And fly in-between
Awakened and slumbering dreams

My journey shall never be incomplete

Patience is the achievement
Worthy to fight for better days ahead
Worthy to sleep better at night
In the acclimation
Of a life reborn to greater fulfillment
With meaning graced
Even beyond our own comprehension

I am special
You are special
We deserve a bright future
As the skies become unlimited
Open for our happiness
Through the innovation
Of our spirits within

Trust me
Everything will be ok
These words are valid
Inspired by the prophecies
Of better days ahead

And into the night we can sleep knowing
Nothing will ever hurt us again
