In a Coma

A Poem

I'm in a coma

Time for me has stopped

Though life goes on outside

Life inside does not

I'm in a coma

Though I have no fear

My friends are all in my head

I don't need to wake up

I'm in a coma

I often hear a buzzing

When there is no buzz

My eyes flutter open

I'm in a coma

My eyes widen

Life goes on outside

Life outside is scary

I'm in a coma

I hear a buzz

I rush back to sleep

My friends are in my head

I'm in a coma

The buzz I hear

Tells that a friend is near

More buzzing

I'm in a coma

I don't need to wake up

My friends are all here

In my head

I'm in a coma

I'm told I'm liked

I'm told I'm great

I'm told I'm something special

I'm in a coma

I don't need to wake up

I don't need to go outside

I don't need to live

My phone buzzes

In my hand

A friend is near

I'm in a coma

About the Creator

Donia Schenkels

Just a poet that knows it doesn’t rhyme with poet.

I like to focus on our modern world in my writing, because let’s face it, if schools want to teach poetry, make it useful and understandable to today’s students. Language changes with time.
