A Strong Dose
I finally got some sleep
Finally now I can breathe
A feeling which I haven't felt in weeks
I dreamt that we were free
Escaping from all the fear
Still not knowing of what is real
We watched our crumbling dreams
Awake we just disagree
As the mirror laughs at me
A creature of habit for all to see
In love we should never be
This is my dose of reality
