FALLING *new poem*
..
I am lost, I am falling,
I am now living in a world with no sleep;
The night has become an ocean and I am drowning in the deep
..
The moon has become my sun,
The stars bring light to my sky;
Staring at a ceiling unable to sleep, no matter how hard I try
..
I am living in a silent world full of artificial light;
Words fall from this pen, as pages are filled with these darks verses that I write
..
My eye lids are feeling heavy now,
But are my eyes already closed? Or is this just a longer blink;
My mattress is turning into quicksand,
As I slowly begin to sink
..
Soft whispers start to tumble and fall down,
I wonder am I asleep or am I still awake;
Maybe this is all a daydream, and I am laying here just waiting for yet another dawn to break
..
As I fall deeper I feel my body lifting up high, as soft voices whisper they have heard me calling;
But just as the sun begins to rise I wake up screaming as I feel my body falling.
