asleep, we skip
(dreams are meadows
we escape into them: rabbits fleeing dogs)
see? You are not alone
here – you are not the only one who flinches
and stumbles away

the darkness of reality
is too bright – shining in your eyes
So. You close them.
(so do I.)

"Be Strong"

Loved your poem. I'm even using it in my community poetry project for my AP English class. Short sweet and to the point.
