POEM STARTER

Compose a poem about false awakenings.

A false awakening is when you wake up within your own dream. Those who experience false awakenings do not realise they’ve woken up inside another dream.

an almost miracle

i’m breaking as you break the glasses on the floor by my feet i’m shaking as you shake my mother’s ashes i’ve fallen to my knees it’s taken everything i’ve lived for to not take everything from you ill just lay in this bed, fear for the next morning with you i wake up to the sound of rain on the ground i look all around you can’t be found i get up from our bed the sheets a bloody mess i wonder did you get any rest i wonder if you left i walk by the room where it happened last night i prepare for a fight but you look confused you cleaned up the mess the broken pieces on the floor you even made breakfast i’ve never seen this before i sit next to you at the bed but i start to fall asleep i wake to you wanting me dead i realize it was all a dream
