Reality

This is a dream!
Wake me up!
This is a nightmare
Pinch me now
I don't want to be here
Not any more
There used to be peace
And now it's war
They say when it rains it pours
I say when it hurts it kills
I live in a lie
This is a nightmare
Wake me up!
Tears are constant
And the pain is unreal
How did I get here
It doesn't feel real
How do I wake up
From the nightmare of my life
Somebody pinch me!
Or I know I will die

Dreams are our escape from our painful reality. In the cases you're in you feel like you are in a nightmare. Everyone has these moments are it will pass as a storm does with blue skies in the end :) Nice job.

Thank you so much. These words were needed.

The day comes when the things go wrong ,the time seems loathsome to us like the sack of pain on shoulders and we are not gonna take that anymore..
I actually felt that you poured away all pain in this piece..
God bless you and hoping everything will be fixed soon..

I guess there are times when we all are confused,
frustrated and lost,
that we can even find it hard to cope with the reality
of certain situations whether it's love, friendships or family.

Everyday life can seem too much sometimes.

But what makes a difference is our ability
and strength to survive the hardest, most stressful situations,
by accepting things as they are.
Our strong motivation to survive against all odds
and our desire to live life to the fullest
will define our unique and strong character.

some of the best works are written from the pain of a current experience.
the poem is remarkable and expresses a raw truth set to pinpoint anguish.

you make me believe that sadness is th mother of poets. i think most of great poets' talent appears when they are put under sad emotions. your poem reflects so much pain, dpression and frustration but it sounds very nice with the deep sad music beneath lines which came due to the nice words picking

When it Hurts It Hurts Bad.I've been Through it.
This great piece is from your heart indeed and i can relate to it when i read it.
Great poem but It's sad at the same time Keep your Head up Girl.

#~When Love is Lost,do not Bow your Head in sadness; Instead Keep your Head up High and Gaze Into Heaven For that is Where Your Broken Heart Has been Sent to Heal.~#

It has a great rhythm. I'm curious about your writing process. Anyways, it might even do with an cursory edit. It's great though.

I could feel the stress and the the turmoil in the poem. Sometime our minds can race in the wrong directions. I like the flow of thoughts and the strong ending. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
