Oh! Dreams

Dreams

I know you so well

That often amidst you

I forget myself.

When as reality

Failure approaches

You make me climb

to a success peak.

I am with you

So often

That devoid of you

My day’s incomplete.

As came a people

Troubling my peace

In my heart

You stayed, to please.

I gave you

So much

That I regret

It’s memory.

When realization came

The mist you created

Drove its away

To a barren land

Where helpless I lay

returning  from you.

I hate you

Now---

You squeezed me off

My self-respect.

No efforts I raised

No life I’d make

In your midst

I lost myself.
