ONLY NIGHTMARES

I go after you, chase you
I insult you, tear you down

When you fight back, I’ll trip myself
And blame you for my fall

Yes it’s insane.
But do you know my dreams?

I once dreamt of a house
Now I hurl stones at others’ houses

I dreamt of a fancy car
Now I burn tires in protest

I dreamt of a nice job
Now I troll on social media

I dreamt of love
All I have is hate

I no longer have dreams
Only nightmares

Who should I blame?
Myself or you,
for watching it through.
