Aftershock

why do we wait?
to get treatment or medication,
after sickness has already taken action?
delay and denial..
ignoring the symptoms.
why do we wait to react,
til we've become the victims?

why do we wait?
til it's too late?
why do we change?
wait till we're deranged?
when theres no way out?
with no voice left to shout?

its all in the aftershock.
whats thrown in our faces to mock
us and make us see
what our eyes and our lies
couldnt make us be.
a rude awakening to the realities.
a syringe to drain out our fantasies.
the aftershock.
