My Dreams
Naz Ayşe CEYLAN
Waking up with another character in mind , Different plays each night , different scenes each sight , Different hopes I await , different conclusions that I take , From the heart , from the ache , My dreams keep me awake .

I shall thus be a student today , Learning it is okay , to fall in an imaginary world , Nor a poet can I become , Whispering the words with worrying detail
Waking up with another character in mind , Different win each night , different losses I leave behind , Different roles that I await , different people I designed , From this shattered soul of mine , from the parts of it I find , My dreams keep me awake .
Countless possibilities today , Limitless times , I can be someone else , But does that fulfill the dire need to be seen and shine ?
Waking up , unchanged character of my mind , Same speech each night , same sentences in every sight , Same story that I await , same steps that I take , From the bittersweet noises of my heart , from incoherent feelings I find , My dreams leave me broken ,
What can be so uniting , and dividing , Keeping and breaking , at the same time . Dreams must have something hiding , Only coming , at nighttime .
