Nightmares

At times, I feel like I'm attempting to race the wind.
I feel so silly to think that I even have a chance.
At times I feel like I can conquer the sun
Like if it were something anybody could claim.
Instead of getting used to these uncertainties that always seem to come my way
I still struggle and drown myself in idiotic hopes.
At times I still question the things I say and do,
wondering if I somehow messed it all up again.
Those nightmares are returning and are even worse than they were before
It's my fault for inviting them in with these pessimistic thoughts.
I know it's a dream and I scream for someone to wake me up and no one is there.  It's painful.
At times I think I really am strong enough and special enough to win in this,
and then I remember that there is no battle, there is already a king.
At times I just fly away in wishful thinking
I wonder if my time has finally come, while smiling innocently
To only realize a few hours later what dreams are made of.
At times I just wish things made clear sense,
that I didn't have to fight my way around my hopes
that things were just the way they should be
that I felt completely at ease
that there was no concerns, no arguments
that life was simpler
that we were closer
that there was nobody else
that things were right.
At times I hate the feeling of deja vu.
Knowing that years can go by and I'm still fighting the same demons.
It's like I can't even fight anymore, because I see them mocking me.
I feel no strength at all... just like in my nightmares.
They find humor in me because I never learned and apparently I never will.
 I never even got close to winning.
Where does the cycle end?  Will I stop searching?  Will i stop fighting and give in?
Will they feel some sort of guilt and go away, leave me alone?  No... that's not the way this works.
I think it's up to me... to either give in and deal with what has hurt me the most and made me who I am: weak.  Or walk away and understand that it's still not my time, or that perhaps my time will never come.  I don't really know.
I feel numb.  This is way too familiar and my ability to defend (or even protect) myself appears to be nonexistent.  Oh well
