I woke up screaming

In a place that could

Not be

Childhood imagination

Running off with the

Likes of me

Lost and confused in a

Time that was not mine

Fear and consideration

For things not far behind

I woke up screaming

With a voice that was not

Mine

Emotions and feelings

Proving ever so hard to

Define

Displaced and abandoned

As if sentenced for some

Crime

A world and peoples

None of whom were mine

I woke up screaming

Knowing this to be true

Left all lone was the me

Without the you
