The Dream

He woke up,
It was middle of the night
He looked around
There was no one by his side
He closed his eyes
The dream played again in his mind
He smiled a little
But cried inside
They broke him, they hurt him
He still walked
Putting them all aside
There was agony, there was pain
He held back for now
Then the tears came
It was bad
He saw no good
The pain had nowhere to hide
He tried to face it
In anger he screamed, put up a fight
It was not long
Before he quit
“I am just fine”, he lied
