Waking Coma

Waking Coma

A Poem by Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo

Thoughts coming around at night ..
You try to close your eyes , but something keeps them
wide open
Wide open … !! your lungs are wide open to the scent of
pain
Your mind is wide open to new possibilities …
Different ones …
Strange how all of this seem so familiar !
Haven't I gone through this before ??
The things you haven't touched for days ..weeks maybe

Dusted …left aside …Betrayed ….just like your eyes…
That color of disappointment that embraces your irises ….
Leaving nothing but flashbacks …hundreds of them …
thousands of them ..
Millions of them …
Like a broken glass that is shattered into million pieces !
That's how those words left your heart !!
Why does a flashback become your home ?!
And reality is just ….another fantasy !!
Maybe that's why the moon disappears for a while
Maybe the moon wants to show the sun
That "he" isn't always shining !
But the sun couldn't see it
"she" was blinded by her own golden rays !
Is it possible??? ….my mind is lost …
My eyes followed the stars ..climbed from one to another
A burning picture inside of my mind
Sat fire to my eyes and I couldn't sleep …
The thoughts came tossing and turning
Each one left its voice …and I couldn't …I couldn't close
my ears …
Lifeless ?? No.. I was not lifeless …
But I was in my own " waking coma "…
When you feel you've finally found the truth
Yet you are numb …
The truth could not set you free !!!
The truth has thrown you into a new prison
You are a prisoner of your own mind …
And the key is right there …in your hands
But …why are you so frightened of setting yourself free ?
Why are you so frightened of saying so much , when you
are not
Saying a thing ?
I am sleepless in my own dreams
I am..Walking blindly in a waking Coma
