Nightmare

about reality of life

Nightmare

Tears fell,

I wonder why and what had happened

Then I remember the cold harsh reality

We are in.

 

It is like a dream that had gone wrong

And we can’t wake up from it.

No happily-ever-after

There are many once upon a times

But never again can we go back to the beginning

 

We deserve to wake up from this dream

This cruel dream that had brought us

Misery, pain and nothing more.

We went through a lot of hardships

Only to realize that this dream has no end.

 

Once it starts, it can’t stop.

You find yourself spinning into a pool of

darkness, trying hard to find yourself.

And you realize, that not only

do you see people around you

disappearing and fading away

You are left alone, clutching on to

broken pieces.

You stare back at your reflection

Only to find that even you have changed.

 

That perhaps is the worst dream you could ever have

And never wake up from

This cold harsh reality called life

i love it. The point is very good and you really described it well with all the metaphors, which really enhances the imagery of the poem too.
