Welcome. Your nightmare has been received. Current status: Pending forever. nightmares... I spent three years Preparing for a storm That never found My street I built a shelter Out of worst-case scenarios And waited faithfully For defeat A thousand shadows Took appointments At the edge Of every day But one by one They missed their meetings And quietly drifted away FILE NUMBER 88371 APOCALYPSE REQUEST CLOSED WITHOUT INCIDENT The ceiling never fell The ocean stayed asleep The wolves remained imaginary The monsters kept their distance Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where every fear Must sign before it enters Most never do Most lose their nerve And disappear Into the archives Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where disasters wait For decades in the lobby Collecting dust Reading magazines And forgetting why they came A woman feared Her heart would break Before she ever learned to fly The heartbreak came The wings arrived On exactly the same night A man rehearsed His final speech For forty-seven years The audience never gathered And neither did his fears CATASTROPHE DELAYED CATASTROPHE RESCHEDULED CATASTROPHE FAILED TO ATTEND The maps were wrong The warnings lied The thunder changed its mind The darkness filled the paperwork Then vanished from the file Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where every fear Must sign before it enters Most never do Most lose their nerve And disappear Into the archives Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where disasters wait For decades in the lobby Collecting dust Reading magazines And forgetting why they came Fear of failure... Missing... Fear of rejection... Missing... Fear of being forgotten... Currently dancing in storage... Fear of the future... Lost in transit... Fear of living... Under review... Maybe the nightmare Needed us more Than we ever needed it Maybe fear survives By borrowing tomorrow Again and again Maybe courage Is not defeating the darkness Maybe courage Is watching it shrink When the lights come on STATISTICAL UPDATE NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF REGISTERED DISASTERS FAILED TO MATERIALISE Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where every fear Eventually grows tired The walls remain The sky survives And morning keeps Breaking the rules Welcome to The Office Of Unfinished Nightmares Where all the things That haunted us for years Now sit together In dusty boxes Wondering what went wrong Your nightmare remains incomplete.
