THE COMA

I awoke with this feeling......

THE COMA

 

I lay petrified in weightless grace

Can’t feel my extremities or face

Can’t feel my chest’s rhythmic rise and fall

Don’t know if I’m breathing air at all

Can’t hear any sounds, no background din

No common smells have been ushered in

Sightless eyes may be open or closed

No light penetrates the scene un-posed

No senses to guide my mind remain

Visions creep alone inside my brain

Detachment is my reality

Hopelessness is my eternity

How do I keep from going insane

When only blackness and  thoughts remain

Am I alive?  I wonder a lot

I think therefore I am….maybe not

I feel like this could be a metaphor for an existential crisis, or could be the immobility that you feel with clinical depression.

It was a moment of half sleep that had me feeling unending. But I won't rule out depression ( : O )

What a breathless, existential write.
