American Dream
by Teresita Blanco
Shatter
the mirror.
Erase
all illusions.
Swallow
the bitter pill.
This
medicine will
Cure all
your ills.
As the
heart hardens,
You’ll
soon harness
The lies
they fed you.
Your old
delusions
Brought
you this far.
At what
cost
Did you
let your ember
Be
drowned by your tears?
By the
fears
That
bind you.
In bliss
you chased
The
American dream
That
soon turned
Into a
nightmare.
You
cannot find whom to blame!
Nor can
you erase your shame!

The Awakening
by Teresita Blanco
For how
long did I sleep?
I cannot
remember.
How many
days have gone by?
I care
not to remember.
Night
and day are one
Inside
this pit.
Why do I
wake
When I
wish to sleep?
Am I
awake?
I cannot
tell…
I hear a
faint whisper,
Whisper
of what, I know not…
Why do I
wake
When I
only wish to sleep?
Yes, let
me still anew
My
beating heart.
Its
sound is deafening
In this
still silence.
Silence
life,
Let me return
to death.
Why do I
live
When I
only desire death?

Stuck
by Teresita Blanco
Stuck in
the now,
There is
no way out
But
Thanatos’ grip.
I take
many trips
With the
vague hope
That I
might learn to cope
With the
same old no.
Above
this stony hills
There
awaits my bills.
