A Dream Or A Nightmare Poem by Trae Darby

You run through a field of flowers
The flowers burst into flames

You walk down a hallway
The walls close in on you

You climb a hill
You roll back down

You feel the rain on your skin
The rain stops

You gaze at the night sky
The moon and stars are absent

You speak
But nothing is heard

You look into a mirror
There's nothing on the other side

You step into the light
Darkness devours you

A purpose is found
That purpose is no more

You find love
That love dies

You smile
Your smile turns to a frown

Life is given to you
It is taken away

You float to the heavens
You fall to hell

Is this a dream
Or a nightmare
