Dreams of standing tall all alone seems so unrealistic while awake. Nightmares of who I am are all too real even when my eyes open. What makes a dream so unrealistic. What is the difference between the day and the night that I fight with when the lights go out. What makes a nightmare so haunting and real. Where does the nightmare end and reality begin? To me the nightmare never ends. I pinch myself awake but I'm already here. So many of my loved ones are here but only in my dreams are they with me. when I wake , I am still all alone. Can't I shake this never ending nightmare ? I wish to be the girl I see in my dreams , who is strong and proud of who she is and where she is at no matter what burdens and struggles she is currently possessing . She holds her head high because she loves the person she is and has worked to become and doesn't need to depend on anyone . So each morning I wake up putting on this mask of the girl from my dreams in attempts to be that person that I want to be and that I know everyone wishes I could be. I wish I could feel safe in my own skin and loved without my mask. But the dream ended a while ago and all I see now is nightmares and a long tunnel with no end
