The Nightmare that Became RealA Poem by Arianna DeanIs it a memory or a nightmare?The crush and grind As two objects collide The fear It has become real The screech of a tire The tinkling of glass Scream If I can The crunch of metal Then the silence I remember The shock It has begun The sirens The ER It passes in a flash The people there to comfort Don’t understand About the pain Physically and mentally The tears rolling down my cheeks As you realize It was my fault They almost died The impact of it I can’t look into their eyes Later they start to joke about it It isn’t funny They continue to laugh When I get mad They don’t understand I refuse to join the fun Still they laugh Like it’s a joke They don’t understand They never will I can’t talk I can’t speak The memory of it hurts The pain too great to bear It’s not funny It’s a nightmare that became a memory © 2013 Arianna DeanAuthor's Note
