Thoughts, Memories and Dreams From Long Ago - A Poem Collection.

Existential dread

I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending nightmare

Where good luck is scarce, where all light is dim

Where time doesn't pass and destiny doesn't care

And yet I'm very much aware that I am dreaming

That my consciousness isn't slipping

Away from my grasp

That this dreadful feeling

Of not knowing where I am in the map

Of reality is temporary, is fleeting

I know something awaits for me tomorrow

I know I will travel past these waves of sorrow

I know there's hope on the shore

That when I wake up and walk out the door

My fears will die on the white foam of my pillows

On the sea of my blankets and covers

Still I fear that there's isn't more than this

Life in the blurry, dark abyss

of sleepless wonder
