General

Traumatized by the disaster,

painful emotions besieged my core.

Beeping monitors and tubes injected,

kept me confined within the dreary hospital walls.

Surrounded by strangers fussing over me

I scanned for a familiar face, yet found none.

Paranoia left me fearing my own shadow.

Fate dealt a cruel blow,

realization dawned, that the accident had stolen

my memory, identity and my life from me!

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #208

Eugi’s weekly prompt : Shadows

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #208 – A Stolen Identity & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Shadows

lurking below in the shadows
under the peel of my body
realness
is sequestered

in a culture favoring the shallow
a non-wave making personality
us
being perfectly fitting puzzle pieces
molded into a society of sameness

sometimes i am ashamed to possess a stolen identity

You want something that doesn’t belong to you
Something which is personal to me
As personal as my name or my identity
You can move in my shadows
You can sneak into my periphery
Like an imposter you pretend
To be another version of myself

But……….

This falsehood will be exposed
When you will be unable to provide
Any real or authentic thoughts
Anything with substance real
All you have in your hand
Is a ghost of reality

Let go…….

Turn back to your dark world
Where you dream dreams of victory
By robbing others of their reality
Where you will forever remain
Prisoner to your lack of imagination

RXC PROMPT #208

The theme this week is ;A Stolen Identity

Eugi’s weekly prompt; Shadows

#Keepitalive

#RXC

#EugisCauserie

Scattered from realms of reality,

Lies within a stone’s throw,

And sometimes as far as mind can imagine,

Keys to a land,

Where tantrums of time doesn’t thrive,

Where stardust of luck does seem real,

Inside bubble of mind.

Scattered from realms of reality,

Isolated and lost,

Locked out of a safe haven,

Where strangers surround,

Trapped without a way out,

I fall back, and find,

Keys to fertile imagination.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #207

here are three prompts. You may choose one or two or all, and incorporate the concept in the prompt. It is not necessary to include the words.

1. Write a story from inside a bubble.
2. Augmented reality
3. Metaverse

A report says-

‘ When it’s done, instead of using Messenger to catch up with a long-distance friend, you’ll use the metaverse to virtually transport yourself to a digital coffee shop to meet up. Instead of going to a store to try on a dress, you’ll pop on a VR headset and use hologram technology to try it on from home. Ditto that virtual meeting: The metaverse will make remote workso convincingly present, there won’t be much of a difference between beaming in and physical being in the meeting room…’

What if theydeliver

what they say

without any trouble?

Sitting all alone

when immobility has hampered me and my soul

➰➰➰

The dreams that I dream
Fly off to heavens and 
Transform into palaces 
When I will go there
I’ll find all unrequited wishes
Waiting for me, the reward of being 
Patient 

➰➰➰

Kittysverses;

Cocooned inside my bubble
safe from the outside world
Tucked away
Getting through each day
Shielded
Happy in the knowledge
That I am ok
Each and every single day
I can do this
I will make it
Inside my bubble
Where I don’t struggle
