it's not so great once you get there

a wishful fantasy
when all becomes so real
its a journey some choose to go on
while others avoid altogether

an altered reality
is all around you
just close your eyes
and soon you'll be there

what happens there is up to you
or is it?
for the rekindled past can cause such pain

but I've been there before
to the land of freedom and liberty
it's really not so good
it's actually dreadful to the mind

    Seems quite a few people wrote about those dreadful type dreams that make you want to avoid sleep. And yes, rekindled past can hurt at times. Thanks for sharing this.

    Feels a little like an unleashing
    My dreams rarely give me such release.

    Good luck & thanks for entering.
