Limbo
Sun piercing through the blinds
Alarms blaring in my ears
An unwanted disturbance, disturbing my dreams
Dreams dancing distant from grounded reality, dreams unreal
A beautiful limbo between aware and unconscious
Slipping into a coma or rising the next day
All I wish is to stay, is it too much to ask?
Real life is depressing, disappointing, not worth it
Let me stay in my bed, let me stay in this zone
Between living and not, not dealing with hurt
The conflict, the war, the tugging inside
My mind, my heart, make it stop, but it won’t
The only piece of pausing peace is in the in between
Before the blinds blind me
Before my ears bleed the default tune
In my beautiful limbo between life and death
