A Dream Within a Reality

 

 

I called out in the night

panicked

shaking in my own sweat

 

I am afraid of something 

 

I can tell by the shallow breath

How my ribs creak and stretch,

their long, white fingers trying to 

hold me together

 

I look around and 

everything is dark,

It’s all familiar 

the flowers on the wallpaper still

halfway torn off...

 

It was just another violent dream

melting, mixing

into my horrible reality

"...flowers on the wallpaper..."

We had flower wallpaper when I was a kid, the image of a flower still torn hit me like a memory. Well writ and felt - excellent vocabulary choices - envy...envy :D
