The Worst of All Bad Dreams
December 16, 2013
The worst of all bad dreams
they shake me from my sleep.
The smoke alarm glares at me.
A fist swipes at the air
and skin passes through skin.
My emotions are denied.
The worst of all bad dreams
are ones where I am there
but I is lowercase.
I cry in rage but still
there is no sound
coming from my mouth.
The worst of all bad dreams
are foul buses and smiles.
Children screech and world laughs.
A world passing me by,
friends leading sad lives.
How powerless I am.
The worst of all bad dreams
are where I am a ghost,
forgotten and alone.
