"Sniffles"

As I hear the sounds

I take a breathe

Something snaps

Inside my heart

A trigger is pulled

And something starts

The desire to heal

What has been torn apart

I ask a question

They're lying with no doubt

I wait a while

As I hear the sounds start up again

My heart refuses

To let them frown

I ask again

Filled with worry

This time

They speak the truth

Not leaving any details out

"Alternates"

Most nights

Unaware

I shift to another world

That is usually in despair

Many alternate realities

None seem the same

An apocalypse,

A shooting,

A sleepover with a wicked game,

None of these worlds live in bliss

Instead they live in this

This world of evil

Where all is wrong

One where it seems,

Nobody really gets along

Some don't worry me,

I'll usually forget those one rather fast

But other alternates

They terrify me

As I worry about the differences

That one here has,

With the one in the other world

A bad dream

That's what they claim it is

But I know it couldn't have been that

It felt too real

The emotions,

The confusion,

The pain and agony,

Those are not mere dreams.

They're the experiences of another reality.
