Dream Girls: Part Sixteen

The orange sun is shining bright in a dark world,

It’s strange to see such a thing,

Where is the moon?

Why is the orange sun front and center right now?

The heat is becoming unbearable,

There’s no reason for it to feel like summer,

I need the coolness of the night,

The soft touch of the moon,

The sun has no business in this dark world.

Why must it torment me now?

I’ve suffered too much,

I’m sweating too much,

I’m losing too much,

This world is too much for me.


I find myself in an unfamiliar city,

I ran to the city,

But maybe I should’ve just settled for the small house,

Maybe the four yellow walls could’ve protected me more,

Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered,

Maybe my fate is already sealed,

Maybe there’s just no way to avoid death itself.


I can’t run anymore,

I’m staggering and trying to stay on my feet,

But it’s impossible,

I fall down in front of an interesting building,

It’s a black cathedral,

It’s so familiar to me,

Yet unfamiliar in this dark world.


The orange sun continues to beat down on me,

While the night does nothing to stop the beating,

I’m powerless to do anything,

I’m ready for death to take me now,

The black cathedral’s bells begin to toll.

My time in this world will come to an end soon,

I just need her to seal my fate.


I hear her footsteps coming towards me,

She’s ready to end this horrific dream,

Maybe I can wake up to a better reality,

Or maybe another nightmare is in store for me,

But I’m glad I know that this is a dream,

That I struggle to escape from,

I hope this is the end,

I hope the loop of this dream is over,

I can’t take the terror and horror anymore,

I just want to wake up from this dream,

I need her to free me from this dream,

Once and for all,

Everything turns black.


Enjoy the Dream

I can’t believe I’m in a better place now,

I never thought I would make it to this point,

This can’t be real,

How did I make it here?

How did I endure so much?

I still don’t know,

I think I’m dreaming

And living a terrible nightmare.

How long can I enjoy this dream?

How long will I be here,

Before I have to go back?

I fear this dream will not last long,

And I will soon wake up to a harsh reality,

But I can’t deny that I’m experiencing a beautiful dream,

Full of happiness and peace at last,

I’ve been waiting patiently for this dream,

I’ll try my best not to worry so much,

I’ll try my best to enjoy this dream.

A Distant Memory

I’m enjoying the season I’m in right now,

I’m happy and thankful,

I have found joy in this time of my life.

I’m looking forward to new days,

And the possibility of tomorrow.

I have nearly forgotten the days I was sad.

The days I wanted to forget,

The days I wanted to cry,

The days I wanted to quickly come to an end.

I was living a terrible nightmare,

I was miserable,

I wasn’t even living,

I was trying to survive,

Now I feel more alive,

And the days that were harsh and crippling,

They are now a distant memory.
