Pain suffered in the the semi-conscious world throbs more than what we experience in the conscious world— writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

Battle while awake
Cut during sleep

Wounded in reality
Bled in dream

Cloudy while conscious
Alas! Monsoon in vision

Scream in silence
Sounds louder
Vision of the blind
Is sharper

Pain suffered in dream
Throbs even more
Wound upon wound
Here get sore
