The cause and effect of anxiety,
only available in your dreams.
You doubt, yet you buy in,
as much as you believe. Negative
energy, disjointed word, speaks
as much as it wants to be heard.
No reaction, no real meaning,
nothing to say, a nightmare
is a night having a bad day.

“I don’t dream,” she said, matter-of-factly. “Ever.”
“How do you know?”
“Because each day I wake up, and all I ever hope for is more sleep.”
