being ridiculed
even if only in a dream
is never a pleasant experience
one could believe
that it would end
as soon as the dream is over
but the sensation of not only humiliation
but worthiness
is sticking to the skin
not because of the dream
but because of the memories surfacing
memories
that were never a product of a creative mind
but repeated experiences
which were hardly expressed
not to harm the emotions
of the perpetrator
