Nightmare

I read this quote somewhere

“You can’t sell dreams to someone who walked through nightmares”

So I am putting this up.

What was your scariest nightmare?

No, no I am not talking about the scenes you imagined yourself in after watching “The Conjuring”.

I am talking about the nightmares you lived in

when your consciousness was too much present to be absent from reality.

The days with rushing mind, filled with guilt of being murderer of high hopes,

 the nights ticks  of clock muffled by sobbing,

when you tried to give up but you couldn’t.

Common it’s fine if it still haunts you.

Don’t you know the evil does not go to its fellow to show its evilness.

It comes to something extremely good and delicate.

On top of that, you are missing the climax that you came out of it.

Isn’t it like the god Hermes was so impressed by your honesty

that he rewarded you with the strongest version of yourself?

Ha! “The honest Trouble cutter”.

It’s simple “embrace your every scar till the last drop of courage

 it can give you and be your own survivor in the next nightmare”.
