Dream-Reality Switch

"This is my life, it's not what it was before....
I'm so afraid of waking. Please don't shake me." - So Far Away, Staind

Everytime I wake up I face reality. But what's amusing is that my dreams feel more real. And it's not because my reality is superficial, but because everyday, I wake up to a nightmare. Sleep is my escape. It is during these few hours in the night that I actually live.

Lock me in my slumber. For the sunrise, despite its breathtaking beauty, has become a threat than a sign of hope.
