bad dreams change
as a child, the unknown
monsters, things that go
bump in the night
your mind inventing,
creating to terrorize
your unlikely fears
as an adult, the known
the real sensations
everyday life seeping
into the unconscious
an uncomfortable exchange
or difficult conversation
preempted by the mind
violently awake
suddenly aware
how your deepest fears
may change with age
and yet they come, still
to haunt your dreams
