People always say
how dreams do come true,
how wondrous it is
to be submerged into visions
that belong solely to your mind.
What they never speak of,
as if trying to forget,
is that dreams of wonder,
dreams of light,
can turn to darkness.
Suddenly, dreams of a perfect world
become the horror that we try
so desperately to escape.
Yes, dreams do come true,
but what no one ever tells you
is that nightmares are dreams too.

I wrote this for an assignment in my English class last week. I love the whole thing about dreams coming true and then people being reminded that dreams are not just happiness and wonder, they're also your darkest fears.
