Dreams

To sleep is just a dream,
Random thoughts or so it seems.
Flashbacks to days long past,
Don't time go by ever so fast!?
I don't quite know where the dream begins,
My REM sleep is plagued by my sins.
Memories of bad deeds I've done,
Fuck, wish this dream had never begun.
As all I see are my many faults,
Wish they were all locked up in vaults.
1 happy dream would be ever so sweet,
Just 1 night of happiness would be such a treat.
But unfortunately, when I lay down in bed,
I can't control the thoughts running through my head.
Perhaps I should just get a grip,
Before my grasp on reality really does slip.
