as my exhaustion grows,
i chase after
those beautiful moments
that may be implausible,
but in the other world,
anything goes.
all you need
is your imagination
to bring you back
to the most wonderful times
or to put you
in the hypothetical scenarios
you wildly long for.
but the other world
has its drawbacks:
sometimes those moments
that it creates for you
are not so beautiful,
instead they’re dark
and dreary,
maybe even scary,
and they leave you
in a restless state,
not wanting to count sheep
but not wanting to close your eyes,
for fear you’ll return
to the dark side
of the other world.
it’s never something
you know will happen:
you pray for the best
before the light shuts off
and the rem begins,
and as your thoughts swirl,
you hope once and for all
that a good memory gets picked
so the light side of the other-world
gets a special guest.
sweet dreams.
