In my dreams

I do a lot of running in my dreams.

Sometimes to chase something (or someone),

but more often to escape something

(or someone).

I always see people in my dreams.

Often it's the people I love,

or the people I used to.

Or maybe I still do,

but shouldn't.

I see Jenny from time to time.

Maybe it's just the people I miss.

I frequently become Spider-Man in my dreams.

Sometimes I save the day.

Other times I lose my powers.

Once, I was the villain, the monster.

I like it better when I'm the hero.

And these are just the dreams I remember

after waking up.
