I really like how this poem shows denial and desperation through such simple words. The repetition of “Please” makes the speaker sound increasingly desperate for someone to tell them that what happened isn’t real, and I especially like “Please wake me up / Please shake me up” because it makes their need to escape reality feel so much more intense. The line “a glitch in the system” is also really interesting because it makes the situation sound like a mistake that can somehow be undone. Overall, I think the poem is short but powerful, and the lack of explanation makes the reader wonder what happened and feel the speaker’s confusion and disbelief
Thanks so much for saying that, it was really nice to hear! And, yes, you seemed to understand perfectly what I was writing 🙃
Might be a major glitch, can take some time to reset or maybe not.
Dude it was just a glitch in the system. Happy?
