I wake up each day to the same, sad dream.
   A picture of a painting, but I can't hear the scream,
       'though it echoes, echoes, echoes.
   I cannot swim, I cannot breathe
   But something inside dares me to see
           The strokes!  The strokes!
           The strokes of life creating
               a picture never moving.

Have you ever looked?  Have you ever seen our Great Artist?
This is another unfinished work.  Just tell me your suggestions.  'Will post when the piece is finished.

Honestly:  I think it is perfect if you
change the word grouping around a bit and drop the last comments, also add a last line to make it flow:  

I wake up each day to the same, sad dream.
A picture of a painting,
but I can't hear the scream,
'though it echoes, echoes, echoes.
I cannot swim, I cannot breathe
But something inside dares me to see
The strokes!  The strokes!
The strokes of life creating
a picture never moving.
(insert line here that flows with creating)

Just my thoughts
Good Luck
nice start here
xxoo

I see a picture never moving as the corner or substance of your write. Dreams being the over-all vehicle. I like where you are going with the thought here. Nice beginnings.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
