Do you ever have that dream,
that you are falling....

falling

falling

And you never hit the bottom-
You just awaken to the silent screams echoing in your head

Flash

your eyes open to the haunting midnight shadows follwing you around the room...

You inhale sharply, as to remind yourself that you didn't hit bottom--

yet

And slowly, you exhale,
and allow yourself to be taken captive by your dreams once more...

Hoping this time, you can catch yourself

Catch yourself

From spinning out of control,
and falling into the relms of your mind
that grow on your thoughts
and multiply inside of you

But you never catch yourself...you just let yourself


fall

ooo Lisa I like this. Especially the format and the dream-esque quality you used. The falling...
falling...
falling... bit made me actually picture this whole scene in my head as you told it. I hate dreams like this, or nightmares. The 'flash' part reminded me of an older poem of mine as well. I used the whole 'flash' thing like you did in mine. All in all I really enjoyed this. Keep writing dear.

hey,
i also liked the format you used, actually making the words sort of fall.  the ending was good, and so were your images.  well done in my opinion.
