A vast cyclone Of myriad winds Of different strengths Of different speeds Each branching out Into graceful crystalline fractals Each with unique iridescence Outliving the Sun itself The illusion of being The illusion of truth The illusion of dimension Unsolvable Its presence is ominous It is everything It is amorphous It is the lost It is the found A supernova of chaos The endless paradox of contradiction -Joshua Kang

Turning off my lamp, I head to bed, And drift awake. It felt like days, months had passed. But I knew it had only been seconds. I lay in bed, This restless night, Waiting for sleep to come, And take me away. This restless night Everything seems real. The demons come after me. They felt alive. The ones that have dwelled in my mind for years, Turning into vicious creatures that cannot be stopped. This restless night, The shadows come to life, They cut me with a knife. They burn me with fire, And say that it will heal my wounds. I curl up into a rock, Hoping that the pain will stop. But it won’t. Never. This restless night, They shoot me where I’m weak. I yell and beg, but no one will help me. Worthless Useless, My soul cannot be saved, This restless night. This restless night, I try to smile while They fight as I sleep. I fall into a deep pit of emotionless snakes. They hiss at me. And the memories come rushing back, This restless night. This restless night, They become evil. They tear at me, while I stand frozen To the ground. Scared to death, no life left in me. The stench of blood hits me, This restless night. This restless night, The clouds will not rest. And I’m caught up in them. They are dying, And I am dying too. Slowly, as they torture me, This restless night. This restless night, The shattered glass cuts me. Everything feels wrong. I think I may be delirious. This restless night, I will lay here Pondering whether to live or to not. Pondering whether to hurt myself or to not. What is the point? This restless night, Will be my last one. This restless night, My worst fears come to life. This restless night, I won’t have another day. This restless night, I abruptly awake. -Srilekha Cherukuvada |
