Dread /dred/
noun - great fear or anxiety that something bad or unpleasant will happen…
verb - to be seized or arrested by fear or anxiety for an unpleasant circumstance
When I was younger, it felt like i could change reality if i dreamed hard enough,
At night, as i drift to sleep beneath the glow of liquid crystal,
My thoughts would culture and bead,
rolling from my eyes into the ocean of stars
And somewhere among those shining isles,
a pearl would drop,
And offer an escape from this isolation.
Every day:
another ceaseless whirl of notifications.
Each task:
a wave of anxiety.
all vying for supremacy within my chest
Haven't I given enough yet?
Will someone tell me the way forward?
beneath the screen seems so easy.
why have i idled here,
with prayers laced between my breaths?
