I toss and turn
Something's not right
The dreamcatcher I hung
Above my bed
Isn't working
And something is dancing
Inside my head
Saying, "Come with me,come with me."
I try to resist
The dancing thing
Not trying to glance
At it's blond hair blue eyes
And it's childish voice
But I know it's not
A child anymore
For it wears
A white silk robe
And a light halo
I open my eyes
And throw out
The defective dreamcatcher
For it tells the truth to often.
