Troubled Dreams

Drifting off to that place between

The waking life and the endless dream

A tapestry of haunted scenes

The memories are calling me

When filled with whispers stereo

I’d give up everything to know

Imagery

Troubled dreams

Poetry of smart machines,

They’ll never know who I am

Looking in,

Somewhere deep beneath this skin

As my world turns inside out,

I’ll be here

All alone

I see more than 0’s and 1’s

Can I be who I’ve become?

Symphonies surrounding me

Take the breath right out of me

I’ll never rest

Time is fleeting

Imagery

Troubled dreams

Poetry of smart machines,

They’ll never know who I am

Trying earnestly,

Failing miserably,

Picking up the past,

Learning brilliantly

To be loved

To be free
