Surreal

SURREAL

I must have nodded off just before

But was awakened by the slamming door

The debate was heated to say the least

Everyone vying to say their peace

My pulse quickened and my grip grew tight

I knew that this just couldn’t be right

And so I inserted myself into the mess

Tempers flaring, and yes, I digress

For the point is simply one of deception

A lie fertilized and leading to conception

Until I felt compelled to expose it all

With the fervor of one who accepts a call

However it will not go unchallenged by lot

Threats were issued as people got hot

Rousing to realize it’s not as it seem

My body reacting even though a dream

Taking a few beats to grasp was it real

What my mind imagines can feel so surreal
