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.
What else can i do?
I'm beset from all sides.
I pray the heavens split apart and wipe me from the dust
Here I am, the ground beneath the current,
pushing up against these electric thoughts:
Will my tears wash anything clean?
Will they put anything right?
How could they?
Each drop is lost into this torrent of misery
