A poem about my most recent psychotic break.
A sudden intake of breath
I am awake
Only this isn't my room
Not really

This dream has started
Will it be a nightmare or a reprieve?
There is no sound
A nightmare it is

A sudden intake of breath
I am awake
Only this isnt my body
Not really

This dream has started
Will it be a nightmare or a reprieve
There is blood on the floor
A nightmare it is

A sudden intake of breath
I am awake
Only this isn't my husband
Laying next to me
Not really

This dream has started
Will it be a nightmare or a reprieve?
The floor is sharp on my feet
A nightmare it is

A sudden intake of breath
My lungs burn
I am awake
Only the smell isn't right
Not really

This dream has started
Will it be a nightmare of a reprieve
My tattoo is gone
A nightmare it is.

A sudden intake of breath
My chest hurts
I am awake
Only I can’t tell if I am
Not really

Has a dream started?
Am I in a nightmare or reality?
