dark room

by Brian Petreccia - Aries

sitting in a dark room
with nothing there
that tiny room of doom
with nothing but me and the emptiness of air.

i try to gaze upon the walls
only darkness lurks
nothing there at all
and the silence seems to hurt.

i hear a distant cry of help
a cry of joy or a cry offear?
i hear a distant yelp
i see a woman dripping a tear.

i walk to her, she seems to speak
"leave alone the one they call bad"
i get very hot in the sudden wave of heat
it pulls me down i look for something to grab.

nothing, i fall to my death from the devil
he also seems to speak
"come with me slave," he speaks, "come to the next level"
i think, "how did i deserve this terrible treat."

he takes me through the windey tunnels of the deep
he stops me and says, "i am BAD"
and threw me off the cliff that seemed very steep
im screaming now all the way down till i awaken on my back.

im in the comfortable sheets of my bed
with 10 people around me
i have many fears and confusions mixed with dread
the 10 people begin to speak.

"where were you brian," they said
"i guess i was dreaming," i replied
"you were dead," the 10 people said
"im awake now, i hope" i replied

the 10 people all started chanting a song
praising me and loving me
and holding me for a period that was long
i asked them, "what are you doing, im hurting you see?"

they dissapeared again and i was alone
i open my blood shut eyes
to find i was home
but with almost no life, i then died.


Reason for writing:

    the poem is strong maybe not even that great because i just made it up right now.  i tried to take a little bit of the feelings of fear and depression mixed into one feeling.  it is about me dreaming about my fate and the fears of death and then when i awake i die in bed.  read it and tell me what you think
