Daydream

Wake up from a daydream

into a world of nightmare scenes

the scenery bleeds

and all the screens fall dim

obscene screams of what he called hope

life feels like the frayed ends of a severed rope

wearing thin

Blinking against the dust and dirt

eyes full of grit that hurts

rubbing agony into aches and pains

stains from tears that fall like rain

the daylight shines

streams through dusty blinds

all he sees is misery through the grime

Lifts his head, invisible weight pulls back

tries to move, his body says forget that

pressure presses down

he fights to get up

an immovable object

no motivation to break the beds deadlock

It's been weeks, months

time slowed to a stall

looking at the same dull walls

the same cobwebs

same creeping spiders spinning threads

now bigger, they creep with pounding footsteps thudding

as day turns to night in the blink of an eye

motivation left him

whilst his brain was flooding

It's a job just to move, to get dressed

to make food, it all causes stress

tension like a coiled spring

ready to snap

is it time for another nap?

motivation to even sleep has left the room

now just coated with months of musty gloom

you could run your fingers through it

It's like dust but twice as thick

and it sticks

like glue

all over you

makes the day feel like night

and nights feel like hell

with all the voices having a blaring internal fight

the panic starts to hit you like rocket shells

You close your eyes to the nightmare

to wake up deep in a daydream

a glance at light in the air

at the life that must live on

as we are all asleep

in a world elsewhere

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
