Standing In Silence...

Twisting, whirling,
drowning, swirling.

Restless sleep,
falling deep.

Pitch dark,
Eternal hell.

Almost unreal...

Watch me fall,
bloodied walls.

It's getting close,
help here, almost.

This is all,
almost unreal.

Almost unreal..

What is this?
Does this exist?

Where am I?
Where's the sky?

No fantasy land,
and no pleasure cruise.

Almost unreal...

~Ultimately, we are all dead~Proximo

Depression? That's what it sounds like to me. I could be wrong of course. You're the writer after all. This seems like a page wripped out of my diary.. although I don't keep a diary.. you know what I mean though. If it is about how depression can be then it's great.. and even if it's not.. it's still great. It was simple, yet had depth to it.

Spine Grinder-

Interesting concept of reality. The short lines created a more to-the-point effect, so in a way, you are describing reality in the format of the poem.

It's getting close,
help here, almost.


-The "help here, almost" didn't really work with the flow. Maybe it was just the way I was reading it. Who knows? ^^

The repetition of "almost unreal" kept bringing up the fact that the most impossible things can still be reality. Good.

Hope to see more from you!

If this was a dream, I think I'd call it a nightmare.  Hugs hon.

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.
