Dreaming Reality
22 April, 2005
Author: Mike
No longer frightened, yet I shout out in fear.
No longer crying, yet my eyes drip tears.
No longer sad, yet my mouth is turned down.
No longer sleeping, yet I lay on the ground.
No longer cut, yet my skin's opened wide.
No longer invisible, yet in shadows I hide.
No longer worried, yet wrinkles crease my brow.
No longer alone, yet my screams make no sound.
No longer struggling, yet on I still fight.
No longer dreaming, yet I still dread the night.
No longer ugly, yet the mirrors I break.
No longer breathing, yet my soul Death forsakes.
