The Other Dream

You

Sadness stares back

The twinkle in your eyes

Are diminishing

There is a visible crack 

Marks of darkness

Of bitterness

Of could've beens

Of wasted opportunities

These marks

Pour their gazes into your soul

You

Wake up from this slumber

And enter the dream

Where

Scars are to a warrior

An invisible cloak of pride

Where

Light 

Escapes into your soul

Through visible cracks

Look into the other dream

See the twinkle

Though little

Yet powerful to 

Dispel

Darkness

Sadness

Hate

See how your dream burns

Look, you have control over the raging fire

Of both dreams

Just take your pick
