The Surrealist's Dream - A Poem

This one, I remember writing vividly. It was for my first time ever in summer school. I had to retake an English class and the assignment was to write a free-style poem. We got to do whatever we wanted. This just so happened to come after a dream I had the night before it was due. So I present: The Surrealist's Dream.

Enter into dreamland

Its such a wonderful place!

Keep your feet inside the vehicle

Its going to be a bumpy night

Look over there!
Watch as your mind makes you see!

See you best friend dying?

Don’t worry, it’s only a dream

Don’t you feel the trickling sweat down your face?

What are you sweating?

It’s freezing in your room!
Enter back into our world and you shall see

Look to your right!
Look at your boyfriend

Pale as if he were dead!
POW!!
Straight in the face!

Look to your left,
As the bright colors whiz by
Red, yellow, blue, green explode

They’re fireworks right in front of your eyes

Watch out

Here comes your backpack

Its mad at you

Its ripped all over

And limps to the side

Look straight ahead,

were almost to the end.

Last time to say good-bye

To all the awful things in your head

Now. WAKE UP!!!

The nights at its end

Come back next time

Well be here until you’re dead
