Sunrising ⛅

For months, I’ve been

plagued by nightmares

Those of isolation

Those of confusion

Those of rage

I’m reminded of times

I sat alone at lunch

I’m reminded of times

I forgot where I was

I’m reminded of times

I wanted to curse

For days I’ve been

Trying to cut through

All the anguish upon

Waking from dreams

I question whether

my gravestone

Will be defaced

Or if my funeral will be

Attended massively

Than any book signing

I’ve ever organized

I feel just as neglected in

My dreams as I do

In my reality

Everywhere I walk

It’s in solitude

Unknown as to whether

I break down when the

Sun rises above my head

Whether in my loneliness

I can be seen for me

Or whether my screams

And cold sweats will

Ever be soothed

I want to scream into the

Wilderness until I sob

I need a witness to

Help me off the ground

I desire a friend who

Won’t watch me drown

I wish for assurance

In the hopes that

Love isn’t an

Unreasonable

And lofty

Request
