Never Wake
March 2, 2018
Everything turned into a nightmare,
a nightmare with no wake.
I try to weep but I cannot.
I want to scream but I will not.
There is no light, only fire.
There is no guilt, only sorrow.
Helpless force fed.
A few left as they bled.
Fleeing the scene to hide.
Watching behind as they died.
To start a shallow walk through the fog,
will cost my sight of reality.
Awaking now is but a lie,
to deceive my pursuing anxiety.
As I slept into this hell,
a force keeps me from waking.

This poem is an abstract concept of how death of others can affect your emotional being. How loss is hard to get past and only chases you deeper into a hole of despair. It feels like you are living a nightmare that you cannot wake up from.
