Must not fall back
must not fall back
asleep
No, I will not close my eyes
No, not one more time
here it is
apocalyptic sunrise

The light of revelation is shed
on so many things I once thought dead
showing them to me, now I see
nothing is as it seems
so clear-cut and concise
this line dividing reality from my dream
now I sit, ponder and contemplate
fate or mistake?
this one chance I must take...

Here I am
awake
standing
standing in the ruins
of life long past
my own mental graveyard
searching
searching for the way
the way out

"mental graveyard"
I LOVED that part.
There was one line that I think the poem could have done without:
"nothing is as it seems"just because it is cliche, and you've already established that idea in the lines previous.
I really enjoyed this poem.

i really liked the poem...i'm putting it in my library if you don't mind...there was a little roughness in the reading with some repeating of ideas and feelings but overall a grate poem...keep writing

when you live you begin to die
when you die memories of you life lives in others
when memories of you begin to fade
you truly begin to die
