red

Everything red

As I woke up sweat drenched in my bed

My nightmare made me think I was dead

It filled up my head with existential dread

Red?

Everything red?

How could I be so messed up in the head

Of course I wouldn’t be dead

If not how did I wake up here in my bed

I woke up here in my bed…

My red bed?

My bed is not red

I sunk into this bed which is not mine cause it’s red

The covers consumed me and left me for dead

I fell down the rabbit hole of red dread

And when I hit the grey floor it turned red

Red

Everything was red

I said sitting up in my blue starry bed

Finally I woke up from this dread

I look out the window and see…
