It was only a dream.
The monsters aren't real.
You're still in your bed,
the bed you normally sleep so comfortably in.
There's nothing hiding beneath it.
It was only a dream.
No one is screaming.
You're breathing fine.
Your sister is safe.
She's sleeping peacefully.
It was only a dream.
Your father is feeling fine.
He's not sick at all.
Your mother is not worried.
The neighborhood is safe.
It was only a dream.
You didn't plummet to your death.
Nothing is bleeding.
The dog isn't dead.
No one is out to ****** you.
It was only a dream.
The sky isn't falling
The house isn't on fire.
The world isn't dying.
The demons are fake.
It was only a dream.
Your family is proud of you.
You're going to be okay.
There's nothing wrong with you.
You're not a loser.
The nightmares aren't real.
But neither are your dreams.
