Fear of Losing Consciousness, the Fear of Not Waking. "No More!"

By Ziggy MDPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

You enter unconsciousness, except your mind believes you are still awake.

Laying in bed with another and they ask for a favor,

Speech is impaired beyond your grasp;

The unidentified person who lays in bed with you is silent;

You attempt to speak but, you can't remember how.

Moments pass...you attempt to scream to respond to this question,

Tears run down, again you don't get a reaction.

Questioning your sanity and wonder why you can't compose words.

"Did this person die or am I dead?" Several questions but you're too weak.

You begin to transition back into reality..."I'm in bed alone? What a nightmare."

Fear of losing consciousness, the fear of not waking. "No more!"

About the Creator

Ziggy MD

I've been writing poetry since 2006 and my passion for writing never left, with exceptions of monthly/yearly writers block. As far as influences, I don't have any because I'd like my poetry to be my own and not a copy.
