AWAKEN

I'm having a dream, I'm living the dream.
Might look like I'm jesting but a nightmare it seems.
My thoughts are haunted,
By ghosts I invited.
I breathe to live and live to breathe,
My purpose broken, my soul in seethe.

I wish to awaken,
But my room darkens.
The longer I sleep the deeper I sink;
Into the unknown, a bottomless pit.
The world is spinning,
My reality splitting.
Thought it marked my extremity,
But an angel was sent, to provide an amenity.

From a distance a voice so tender;
Calmingly beautiful, an evening splendor.
"Come darling, let's join the play,
Let's join the others and play for pay.
Come my darling, come with me;
The answer to your questions I will be.
Don't run away, don't try to hide;
Just come join us on the other side.
It's the world in the deep, it might seem scary;
But don't you worry, I'll be your fairy."
