The Test

written by: Darrin Reay

@ReayDarrin

The vibration deep within my chest

brings to life a memory

I thought was already laid to rest -

Of horror, smiles and each day

that puts me through a test.

The belief that I could pass it

with flying colours and walk away;

By noon my teeth will be grit

and my thoughts will have no room to stay.

Overcome by a darkness

that puts my mind into shadow.

Light growing ever so less

until I no longer know....

That the vibration deep within my chest

brings to life a memory

I thought was already laid to rest -

Of horror, smiles and each day

that puts me through the test.
