Something jolts me awake
A dream, a lingering wisp of smoke
Lacing my thoughts with haze
This unexpected feeling
An unwelcome guest
My brain manifesting truth
Incited by my own imagination
And the wait until the unknown
Becomes the known
Creating holes of black within me
Somehow my legs cave in
I'm learning to stand up
All over again
I stumble, I cringe
My insides twist and shout
The unexpected
Only leaves you
Expecting more
