Lucid Screams.

lucid screams 
of broken dreams 
light up 
the night 
of fractured sleep 
that creeps 
and crawls 
passing the time 
that inches slowly 
reflecting back un/wholly 
curated lives 
of those around 
comparison killing 
the joy of feeling 
the present state 
of my life, your life 
is it real 
what we feel 
wrapped in darkness 
in that solitude 
or lucid dreams 
of broken screams?
