A poem about Exploding Head Syndrome

Imagine this: You are about to fall asleep Your consciousness begins to drift You are ready to surrender into Morpheus’s embrace When an explosion sets your world ablaze!

You wake up in panic and look around No smoke or debris to be found You don’t know what caused this sound No one else has heard it either Could it be something flying through the aether?

You do your best to tempt Morpheus to take you back A slight worry starts tickling at your heart What if it happens again, what if your time has come to depart? For now, it seems you’re safe enough Better keep an eye out if things get rough
