I lay in the darkness

Drowned in my thoughts

No panic

No tears

Just silence

And through my thoughts

I drift to the brighter side

No panic

No tears

All fantasy

Too soon I woke

My voice caught in my throat

No panic

No tears

Just exhaustion and recovery

(Hello! This is a poem about a surgery recovery I actually went through. I wrote down as much about it as I could remember. Due to the medication some memory of it was lost, but the main point of it is that my dreams were always an escape. Then I was thrown back into my reality everytime I woke up.)
