i tend to dream of frightful things
demons, spirits, monsters, parents
all the shadows from my very own mind
i want to forget them all
but if i did they would laugh in a toxic harmony
laughing at the fact that they’re not just in my mind
for my nightmares are my reality
a reality i shrug off around others
and plaster on my very own smile

I love the addition of the word parents in the second line it really lets the connection of reality to the nightmares sink in.
