INKTOBER 2018: Slice, Day 31

Art and Poem by Miguel Guerreiro Lourenço

Happy Halloween! For the last Inktober prompt. Slice, I went with a spooky shadowy figure illustration... and a somewhat depressing poem about our world's state of affairs! Yey? Below is the transcription:

shake me awake.

I wish to sleep no more.

the growing voice living

inside my nightmares

has grown impatient

and cocky. it overwhelms

me. it knows the darkness

outside can run rampant

now, even if we try to

suppress it. I'm afraid

of losing control of it

all like it already seems.
