Lucid Dream Poem by Anashree Nash

Fury and rage;
Unleashes the storm,
That has been building up;
Over a period of time.

The love deep within;
My heart, my laughter, my smile
Is a faded memory of;
The person I once knew.

Life got the better of me,
Hunted me down;
Like a lioness hunts her prey;
And let's it die a slow and miserable death.

So let down, so caught up;
In a maze of lies and deceit,
From the people I trusted;
The most in my life.

As I gasp my last breath;
And my life flashes,
Before me one last time;
I hear a voice call out my name.

From a distance my name;
Is echoed once more,
The voice grew louder;
As it drew closer to me.

'Get up I say, wake up
And greet the world,
Your story can only conclude
By none other than you! '

What on earth is this;
A riddle or a rhyme,
Who has this to say;
At this given time?

I open my eyes;
To the end of,
A lucid dream;
A dream, it's just a dream.

Even in a dream;
I will be the one,
To remind me;
Never to quit on myself!

For it is I whose intelligence;
Manifests from that of god,
And whose purpose;
I shall fulfill.

Man will make you his friend today;
And a mockery of you tomorrow,
But that's okay, for in the end;
It is only between you and god!
