Nightmare in Disguise

Eliot M, 8th - Bethesda, MD
Learning to live with shattered dreams
Is being okay with silent screams
Heart rests on broken glass
The wave of sadness doesn't pass
Radial artery split and severed
Pain just can't be measured

Then it clicks
The pieces of the puzzle
Like a scavenger hunt
Except what you're looking for are the lost shards of your innocence

We wish for our dreams to come true
But we forget that nightmares are dreams too.
