Last night

something strange
was happening inside my mind.

Not a dream.
Not fully awake.

Somewhere in between.

Thoughts
were clashing.

Not loudly…..
but like distant thunder
behind thick clouds.

I wanted silence.

Just a clean space
where a peaceful dream
could sit down
and rest.

But something was blocking it.

Unknown thoughts
fighting each other….

like guards at a gate
refusing entry
to something beautiful.

Everything felt foggy.

Fully cloudy.

You know that kind of sky
when the clouds become a lid…

and the whole world
feels locked inside.

My mind felt like that sky.

Closed.

Heavy.

Not a dream.

More like
a tunneling system.

Long corridors
inside the mind.

I was aware
of something moving there.

My mind was active…

but my body
was sleeping.

Not deep sleep.

Just my eyes closed.

And in that strange half-sleep
I felt something unsettling.

Like someone
was living
inside my mind.

Someone unknown
