In only a dream

kept having this feeling i wasnt going to wake up

My head not feeling right i went to bed.

Only wishing to dream

to go far away.

and unlikely that did seem. 

The world was so loud and angry

so i willed myself to sleep.

I was dreaming a path of sunlight

and peace that i longed to keep.

This place offered happiness

and a needed escape from my pain.

everyone needed something i thought

and i certainly needed to stay sane. 

SO walking farther did not feel wrong

and i felt no urge to return.

Even with the soft whispers of my name

i felt it wasnt my concern.

As i walked the farther away i felt

 for once i was thinking of me

 not what was left behind.

I desired more to see

I could still hear the whispers

but the farther i got so did they.

Concerned I became but i didnt want to return.

but something told me i couldnt stay

I then stumbled across a light

so full of the unknown.

But i was sure i knew better

than to look at what was shown.

As i began to question myself

those whispers became screams.

I knew i was being called for

and the urgency was pouring in streams.

When i turned to walk I was becoming aware

and saw what what i was leaving behind.

My soul had been searching for peace

that no living body could ever find.

when i awoke i was surrounded

and informed of the sleep i'd endured.

For those hours had been months

in which so much had occurred. 

They questioned me again and again

but i never mentioned my will to sleep.

I figure it should be unsaid

and be my secret to keep.

Sometimes i find myself wishing to go back.

but i know better than to leave.

The only stopping me

is those i know will grieve.

SO now at night when I cant sleep

and i'm sure i've had enough

I remember one day that place will be for me

but for now i'll have to be tough.
