Struggle of the Semiconscious

Alone, I live in my semiconscious world;

whiling away my time to the beat

of the drum whose monotonous rhythm

forms the orchestra of my life

 

Words are a blur on the horizon

of my mind, while passersby pause

to look at me as I struggle to match

the symphony that plays within me

 

Then an alien tune tries to trespass,

beckoning me to follow the deaf

crowd further into an unconscious

world, into the abyss of confusion

 

Breaking through this chaos comes

a voice, loud yet clear and beautiful.

Startling me to consciousness;

Reminding me of my duty.
