A Coffin of Dreams

Click. The lights turn off
Heavier my eyes become
Three, two, one, darkness.
My stress starts to cease.
Tension. Gone. Pressure. Gone too
I can now just rest.
Dreams start to construct
They form inside my head
Swirling and whirling
I can make out it.
I can see a family.
It's my family?
We are in the park
Just, laughter and happiness?
No anger or fear
No screaming is heard
We're all having a good time
Calm. Happy. Wait, what?
Click/ Light has entered
The screaming starts once again
I wish dreams came true
