Reality

This is a dream!
Wake me up!
This is a nightmare
Pinch me now
I don't want to be here
Not any more
There used to be peace
And now it's war
They say when it rains it pours
I say when it hurts it kills
I live in a lie
This is a nightmare
Wake me up!
Tears are constant
And the pain is unreal
How did I get here
It doesn't feel real
How do I wake up
From the nightmare of my life
Somebody pinch me!
Or I know I will die

It's said that what doesn't kill us only serves to make us stronger. Sure, that's easily enough said, but it's much harder to accept or believe when faced with the cold harsh realities of life sometimes.
The surreal quality you lend to the styling of this piece is both touching and horrifying. Like a nightmare from which you can not escape or awaken from. Powerfully written...

[EMMIE]

I like how you related to what your going through into a nightmare. Hope everything is okay. Very good writing. And keep your head up.

@maidahl Hummm...I have no writing process. If I had a writing process, that means I would have to think. I never EVER have and I never will THINK about what I write. My poetry does not and never will come from my brain, it always comes from my heart, therefore there is no "thought process", there is no style, there is no form. These are my deepest feelings, how can you "edit" someone's pain? My words are raw, unedited, and bold and they represent what I feel. I greatly appreciate your attention =)
