Yesterday's Dream

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream"
--Edgar Allan Poe

The thread was cut
Eyes shut
Falling into an illusion
Missed the rising of the sun
:
Sickness over take me, distortion turns into infrared
Thoughts tumbling in my head
Overwhelmed, tired, dry
The body is empty, hunger snatches a cry
:
Annoyance comes to visit
As time flies by with each minute
Sleep overtakes once more
Limbs stale and sore
:
Pills tumble down the throat
Death comes and gloats
Shaken hands begins to write
As the pen bleeds in fright
:
Camouflaged by inspiration
The ink spills crimson confusion
Sickness now tamed by medications control
The false smile plays its role
:
While the mind reflects
Yesterday’s dream begins to connect
:
Another page turns in my life
Another day with new strife’s
Another war fought
More happiness and peace sought
:
I am awake and alive
Somehow I managed to once again… survive
