Wide Awake

Memories of past's future
exposing foretold pains
Revisited in a theatre
of drama penned for gains

The peace within is strived for
a promise not fullfilled
From misery vaulted forward
enduring and instilled

Scripting; prods pain's monster
just waiting to be revived
Its miserable existence
again, to be survived

Tears embedded deeply
erupt from writing's quake
Pain's slumber finally over
now screaming wide-awake
