A sleepless night
A moon meshing with the sun
Two merging into one
A double vision
Two different facades
One insulting me and calling me names
The other one holding my hand and telling me i’ll be okay
The two figures staring back at me with four eyes
When I see them they look so disappointed
The salty tears run down my face
I shake my head and now the visions ascend away
I blink my eyes with hesitation as they disintegrate
I scroll as the blue light hits my eyes
The light so bright it starts to get blurry
I gravitate towards the bed and fall asleep
Biography:
Hi I am Kory Wienke and most of my pieces come from my life experiences and my surroundings. My pieces Insomnia and Wonderland are parts of a long series of poems called Fairytopia the Land of Loss, Hope, and Dreams. The themes from this collection are from a time last year when it was very mentally draining for me to do anything. I wanted Insomnia to reflect how it felt when your days start to blend into each other and aren’t composed of coherent thoughts. Wonderland was somehow different for me, I wanted it to reflect how mental instability feels and how your mind leads you to infinite conclusions. I am really happy that I was encouraged to turn my pieces in by my dear friend. When writing this I felt the weight relieve from my shoulders and weigh all that weight down onto the paper. I hope you guys enjoy these two stories and get to read more of my work as I get it published.
