Only A State Of Mind

by Laura   Apr 21, 2006


Dreams are just a state
of the unconscious mind
A fallen prisoner of sleep where inside
my abysmal thoughts I am confined

Sleep is the exploitation of true feelings
the most vulnerable of emotions
A most contrastive state of mind
no signs of any true devotions

In the throes of a deep sleep
I have no chance of escape
Until the sun starts to rise
light creeps in through the drape

Nightmares ravened by thoughts
of all the world's impurities
Substantiated night by night
while I am lost in my insecurities

Haunted by the constant unexplainable fears
in my psyche that I have tried to bury
Aspiration increases heavily as I cannot wake
left pondering the implications of this quarry

    Wow this is fantastic. The normal rhymes and the consecutive rhymes are outstanding. The wordchoice is just great plus the flow is perfect. 100% portic and lexically strong.

    I can completely relate - all of my fears and insecurities come after me in my dreams, and of course I can't do anything about it! this was amazing, and perfectly captures sleep, as far as I'm concerned (and I consider myself a pretty happy person, during the day time!)

    I thought this poem was amazing - its funny cause I was just thinking the same thing the other day when I was thinking about sleep and the whole "how can we really tell if sleep is sleep at all? Or if we lead two separate lives, one out-there and radical and one more conservative and "realistic" as we define it... but really - how do we know we are awake at all?"... that probably doesn't make any sense!! haha! Good write. :)
