Physics

I'm in physics on a lab day. My teacher is home sick today. You'd think that would be a good thing, no? Well it's not. It's quiet and boring and i kinda wanna fall asleep for 16 hours straight. But I can't.

Hmmm.... I'ma post a poem now. Yaaayyy!!!

Argue

You long for night, I long for day
Conscious reality
Reassurance of realism
With the dawn I come alive
With the dusk I feel suppressed


You long for day, I welcome night
Enveloping darkness saps the light
Unconscious dreaming
Wish the misfortunes away
With the dawn the burden returns


You say you feel free
That dreams are like a release
But they mean nothing
They aren’t real
The light is something tangible
The dark is something to fear


You claim it is grounding
That reality brings peace
But reality is not so simple
The vividness causes pain
The pain fades in dreams
To be awake is more frightening


How can you succumb
To your dreams so willingly?
Most times they cannot be mastered
The nightmares overwhelm
Until you long to see the sky
It always comes back to being truly alive


The nightmares stem from daylight pains
Exercise the guilty subconscious
Nightmares come to those with something to fear
And seldom visit those who know no guilt
Freedom from pain of sin


You just don’t understand.

Probably my best work to date. It took SO LONG to get this right. I'm most likely going to feature it in the book I'm writing for my G&T class, I love it so much. :)

ok bye...
