What exactly composes a nightmare?
Is it a past that lies heavy on your chest?
Or perhaps a fear you are too petrified to confront?
Because to me,
A nightmare is an entity
That preys upon my ambitions and happiness.
A creature who knows every step I take
And the things I say
Because there’s nothing more terrorizing than
Being truly known.
You are the worst of my nightmares that materialized
Into something I grew to endure
Your presence lurks at the back of my mind
That even in my slumber, you barge
Without invitation.
But you are the worst of my nightmares
With the most beautiful narration.
