Not Quite a Dream

Sometimes when I think its a dream, or maybe a nightmare,

I may try to pinch myself out of it. It never seems as though it will work.

When I try to think of it being a nightmare it becomes a dream,

and when I try to think of it as a dream it becomes a nightmare.

So I don't know what to think, or how to act.

It seems when I try to go one way

I go the other spinning in a never ending circle.

I don't know how to wake myself up or if I will wake up,

if only my wife on the other side would wake me up.

I want so badly to wake up but I don't know how

.

And then the idea to pinch myself comes back to mind,

but when I do it hurts...
