I Want To Escape by Pamela O'Brien

Most of the time our dreams are a source of escape from the world we inhabit,
But lately I find that my dreams are unkind and they are becoming more nightmarish.
I have no control when I close my eyes and let my subconscious take the reigns,
But my deepest insecurities are revealing themselves and attempting to drive me insane.
I want to escape from my deadly sleep which is creeping into the day,
I want to escape from whats beyond my reach
I want to stay awake.

nightmares, to me is like life, in a sense you can control it. you might not be able to change it complete i think thats near impossibal but at least you can make it more pleaset. same with life, have a problem, make the best of it. uh i think i said that right. anyways hope ya get what i mean. love the poem.

Control...
It's interesting to me that you can control your dreams to some degree Luc, because I sure can't. I can only make myself wake up sometimes when its really intense, but I find that no matter how much I am scared in a nightmare I cannot do anything to change it. But next time I will definitely try a little bit harder then usual - try to make the best of a bad situation I guess :O)

weird
i though everyone could control their dreams to some extent (sp!) just sorta comes natural to me. when i have a nightmare, (a real entense one sense i tend to like my nightmares) i can feel myself thinking. like changeing my actions in the dreams to make me turn out to be the hero and such. though that never happens just useing that as an example. yeah do try to make thebest of a bad situation. fist fights go reall good ^.^ god i love my ghetto town.
