"Nightmares"
Is this a nightmare?
Or am I in a waking dream?
Elucidating our lives like some sort of sick joke;
Oh, please let it be a nightmare...
I just want to wake up and enjoy my life,
Without all the bad news -
That is occurring in the world.
For once I'd like one day of mental peace,
A day without information influx.
One day of literally nothing but pure bliss.
For that, I'd have to be ignorant,
Of everything around me.
Unfortunately,
I'm far too aware and awake for that now.
About this poem
A poem about living the nightmare. I'm not in as bad of a nightmare as some people... But what I see causes nightmares. It's pervasive, what I see. I wish i could make it all stop...
