The Fear of Waking up
She fell for wonderland
Now that her mind's taking over
she takes a gander and wonders
if she could understand
Minimal hand holding,
she felt a sense of control
beyond her natural limits
and met her inner soul
And it was smiling back;
they had a conversation,
praising the gift and the curse
that come with ruling nations
Corrupt insinuation,
standing ovation to a leader's malfeasance
like a "crowd-pleasing" situation
It told her to breathe
She saw her love and her fire
Her wants were thrown to the flames,
and burning with desire
The air around her was pleasant,
and compared to the toxic and suffocating reality,
a refreshing present
The water's effervescence
felt like diminishing truths,
and every second was shackled
with fear of evanescence
This dream is liberating,
lucid enough to abuse it,
and yet the fear of awaking is very irritating
Is she falling in peace,
or falling to pieces?
She's now feeling the sheets,
but refusing to leave this!
"I am nothing without this,
I'm begging you to wait up!"
(You're terrified without us,
we're getting you to WAKE UP!)
"I'm with the love of my life"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Immune to cuts from my knife"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Dining with those that I've lost"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Willing to pay any cost!"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Heavenly taste of this world"
(...but it's only a dream)
"I'll buy more time with these pearls...!"
(...but it's only a dream)
"I'm satisfied with my looks!"
but it's only a dream!
You're so lonely, it seems!
THE WORST WE'VE EVER SEEN!
THE WORST WE'VE EVER SEEN!
...
If she could understand,
she'd take a gander and wonder
whether her mind should take over
and fall for wonderland,
but the love of her life
and her family members
surround her hospital bed;
they pray that she remembers...
...that people love her,
and life is gray,
but we give it color.
Expergefaciphobia is defined as the fear of waking up.
