this one is one of my favourite it is about the japan earthquake
My Reality
The Earth shook
my world,
and everyone in it,
trembled with the intensity,
of a thousand raging rhinos.
Nothing will ever be the same
since the wave arrived,
pushing over buildings
compared to the toppling of dominoes,
leaving nothing in its path.
My mother told me to hide
I sought comfort in the basement cellar,
my mother didn’t follow me,
in attempt to find my brother
she went outside to face the horrors,
I was the one to identify her body.
Nothing makes sense anymore,
my head swirling
like a thousand falling airplanes,
I shut my eyes
to block out the screams of pure terror
that haunt me every night,
as I drown in my dreams.
Thousands dead,
hundreds missing,
chaos all around me
I am lost,
in a world that is now my reality.
