Do you ever wish life was like a dream?
You could wake up,
realize it's fake.
Make it how you want it,
change it if you didn't like it.
Go to sleep,
have a completely different dream every night.
Re-live the ones you like,
push away those you didn't,
hide from the ones that scare you.
Unfortunately life is not a dream,
yet it can feel like a re-occurring nightmare.

I wrote this after wishing I could change the nightmare I felt I was in.

You put the meaning of this into words beautifully! I absolutely love the last line: "yet it can feel like a re-occuring nightmare." So true! Keep writing!
