I Wake Up In The Afternoon Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

"I wake up in the afternoon
after an hour of sleep
then I ran outside to a tree
I bite a tree branch, trying to change
the meaning of my dream
for I dream that my father visited me
but the problem is I'm in Saudi Arabia
and there's no way he can come to me
I became so restless
I want to change something
A fear envelop me
then two hours later
the truth came, a long distance call
from my sister
and she told me that our father is gone
there was only this shock
I just said yes and ok
and what's it's going to be
I only received reassurance
that everything will be alright
then later when reality sets in
I cried in my room
A cry that makes one weak
I thought I could face everything
when my mother passed away
two years ago
I was wrong
for once again I suffered the most
agonizing pain a man
could ever imagine."
