The Festival of Nothing
I woke up from a deep slumber
Saw my father alive and sober
Saw my mother proud for being asleep
And seeing these unpredictable things
I looked around too find a mirror
As I glanced to it all I could view
Was bones and dark grey clouds
I knew I could be dead because as
Soon as I turned around
My parents were gone
All the color of the dream
Was faded the paradise
I was seeing was just the festival of nothing
Sorrow was all I felt
I spoke alone but loud
asking if I could go back home
But death came from around me
And said I couldnt go at all
I stared at all the skulls in the floor
A song circus like played from far away
Out of nowhere
A gigantic elephant with no skin on it began too dig itself out of it's own grave
suddenly more than one began to do the same
The floor began to shake
As I continued to stare I could not focus on anything
Besides these bizarre creatures coming from the ground
Death was long gone
Leaving me with an ora
The floor opened and crack my way
I jumped into the ora
And it shifted into hyper drive mode
I woke in hospital with tubes inside my veins
I began to cry and cry wondering why
This came about and I had no just died
