The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

This is kinda long I know, but the lines are short. It is describing how frantic bad dreams can be.
Hope you enjoy and don't get too confused. Not all of it makes sense however, most bad dreams don't either.

~The Frantic~


Heart pulse
Rapid Breath, stuck in my lungs
Losing my balance
Regaining it…
Losing it again…
Permanently this time
Now falling
Why can’t I remember?
What do I do?
In case of
Emergency?
Spiraling down
Out of control
GET AWAY!
COME BACK!
PLEASE DON’T GO!
I need to be alone right now
I’m afraid of the dark
No mom
I don’t need that nightlight
Anymore
I’m a big boy now
What was that?
Who are you?
What are you…?
Where are you taking me?
Dreaming
I got to wake up!
I’m tired
I’m going to hit the hay
See you in the morning…
Maybe.
Unless the…
Squirrels get me!
They want their nuts back!
And they’re looking at me!
I don’t have them
But they…
They don’t know that
They want to kill
Me
Just like
You.
It’s your fault
You did this to me
While it did it to
Myself.
Breathe…
Please don’t die on me!
5 words 7 syllables
“I don’t love you anymore.”
Really?!
FINE THEN, GO!
I DON’T NEED YOU ANYWAY!
Oh God
I miss you
Already.
What heartbreak
Fairytales
Can’t we love?
Why not?!
O.k.…
I know my own
Way out.
Thanks for your time
And sorry for bothering
You.
These dreams relieve
Me from the black
Comfort of
Sleep.
Tumbling down
The stairs of the
Bottomless Pit.
It hurts so…
Good?
Beautiful pain stings
My pockets.
OW! OW! FUNNYBONE!
That wasn’t beautiful
But I’m laughing
Just the same.
OH!
NO!
CAN’T!
STOP!
LAUGHING!
Can’t breath
Can’t see
I’M BLIND!
Falling behind
The Powder Blue Wall.
Growing pains
Shudder my side with agony
When I hit
The Powder Blue Floor.
This has been a public service Announcement
From…
OH MY GOD I BROKE MY ARM!
Wrong… Wrong!
This is all wrong!
This can’t be happening to
Me.
Because I’m
DREAMING!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!
IT’S NOT WORKING!
I’m to tired to wake up
It echoes again…
“I”
Can’t believe its back
“Don’t”
STOP! PLEASE!
“Lu… Lu…”
NO! NO!
“LOVE YOU ANYMORE!”
No other choice but
This!
I’m falling again?
Wake Up!
NOW!
Where am I?
Mom!? Dad!?
“Come downstairs, breakfast is almost ready!”
What?
It was all a dream?
“Orange juice Honey?”
No thanks Mom.
“You know your Father and I have decided that…”
No please don’t say it!
“We don’t love you…”
“Wake up son it’s time for school.”
No get away from me!
I hate you!
Get me out of here!
No
Escape
This is only a test.
If it was a real emergency
You would die
Because we won’t
Direct you to
Safety.
There really is no chance
For me
Inside
The Frantic

Omg wow...this was just awesome in so many ways. Amazing job!

Standing on the edge of the world
Now I don’t want you to catch me
I want you to let me
Stand up here and walk on my own

Darkness:

Wow. My heart was pounding while I read this all the way to the end. O.O Crazy what words can do to you. x_X
You had some great lines in this one, like the one about squirrels wanting their nuts back...^^ I enjoyed that one. It was amusing. But there were some really artistic moments in here that brought the depth, that it wasn't all just constant screaming and continuity. That's another thing: I really liked how this flowed. Everything was well placed and thought out.

Wonderful work! Can't wait to read more! ^_^

Darkness~
At the risk of repeating the others, "WOW"!
You did a GREAT job on this.  It was like a
roller coaster ride that I couldn't get off
of until the end...very intense.
Excellent job on this one.

I'm sure this is starting to sound redundant but wow! My pulse was racing when I read this it is indeed just as you say, frantic! Very well written good emotions, you sound chaotic and still there is conformity very enjoyable read!

People always ask me why I don't look toward my future I tell them to many interesting things are happening today.
