Drowning in Reality

4/8/2020

 
Daisy A, 11th - Oakland, CA
In my deep dreadful slumber, I dreamt
Of new beginnings and different endings
Brighter days and darker nights
Warmer winters and cooler summers
But the polar bears still drowned

As they abandoned the abysmal air, I inhaled the burnt oxygen
As they swam, I waited for the elevator to reach the 40th floor
They fought to reach the top but I fought to stay on the bottom
I never realized how important it is to fearlessly float
In the end we both saw green

When I was awakened by the assailants
I lifelessly ran without fear or fraudulence
I swiftly fell off the steep bumpy faith glacier
Then I realized I was looking in a cracked mirror, still asleep
Not even the pleading roars could wake me

Never late, always early
Better to be safe than sorry
Better to be sweet than salty
It's better to be alive than dead
But not when the struggle is among the breathing ignorants

Threatening silence rules over the loud noise
But one word can shatter the silence into a million pieces.
