Dreaming
i am awaken
by the sound of my nightmares
screams
frantic breathing
i'm suffocating
running from behind me
i'm waiting
i'm scared
i'm alone
immovable
i'm hurt
upset
bruised
and displaced
in this space between dead or alive
between the everlasting
and now
i'm stuck
my hands bounds to my side
and speech impaired by their white noise
plentiful
shameful
hungry
but nothing but this
be nothing but this
i woke up
hot
flashes
light flashes
words speak
volume hits
skyscrapers
dreams alive
dead silence
my silence
somethings you never speak of
dare dream of
some things you never love in
love of
forgiveness
let that be your sin
your weakness
in the face of
anything
adversity, your teacher.
