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.
I watch
behind these glass eyes
as every crevice is rendered lifeless,
a flesh doll tossed to and fro
how many bodies have I seen broken and mangled
how many lives leaked from above,
staining the light with their pain?
