Almost Like A Coma

The chemicals are overpowering.

Potent.

I awake,

aching for life.

Though my body still hovers,

just out of reach from the ground.

Accepting uncertainty,

accepting peace,

my heart slows.

I awake again,

unaware of reason.

Frantically attempting to feel.

My whereabouts are only hallucinations.

Pictures in the clouds.

Faces in the mirror.

Tricks, 

that developed their own strange sense of humor during the storms.

My eyes close in wonder.

My heartbeat builds,

sending my earth hurling into an insensitive and chaotic atmosphere.

The energy never dies.

No hope was considered. 

No answers expected.

My guides are not yet deaf,

and my will not yet diminished.

For reasons unknown,

I am able to summon my conscious back across the threshold,

where I awake yet again.

Paralysis banished,

uncertainty receded.

I know where I am.

I know where I have been.

The shame is the chains,

like snakes,

that relentlessly try to circle my limbs. 

In a reality of chaos,

nothing is stronger than I.

I still hear the words they whisper,

but I do not fear.

Nothing lasts forever.

No matter how long I am overshadowed by such curious forces,

those same forces will be but a myth by the time light breaks.

"In a reality of chaos,
nothing is stronger than I.
I still hear the words they whisper,
but I do not fear."
A nice poem and those are my favorite lines...:)

The first one there, that's got to be my favorite:
"In a reality of chaos, nothing is stronger than I."

It's empowering.

overall this poem is wrote wonderfully. i love the subject manner, the way you chose each word to describe, and it has a very ominous theme that was portrayed (to me at least). the only thing that kept me from giving a 100 is the structure. it needs a little help. maybe break up some of the longer lines into two shorter ones. i had issues reading it because one line is 5 words and the next is 12. lol but you have a phenomenal poem going. i just suggest a little revision.
