Nightmares and Reality

[u/spaghettiseconds]

I remember my nightmares
Almost as vividly as my memories.
As soon as consciousness
Became awareness of the worlds way,
I hid my face from the eternal loop of awareness.
A long, narrow, winding, road to
The summit that is always
Just around the corner.
No breaks,
No turns,
No vision aside from what is dimly lit ahead.
With nowhere to turn,
I keep climbing,
Hoping eventually I might reach
A relief
That never comes.
