"This Is Not My Dream"
This is not my dream.
Heart pounding out of my chest.
Feeling every blood cell run through my veins.
Eardrums throbbing to the beat of the drum. My drum.
Whole body on fire, like I burst into flames.
Muscles aching but I just cant stop.
Cant come down from this permanent high.
Face becoming numb. Snowflakes fall angrily on my cheeks.
Eyes dart rapidly. Trying to find something I know.
Suddenly swallowed in snow. Tangled in myself.
Lungs only filling with sharp ice as I gasp for something warm.
This is not my dream.
Body and mind telling me “no”.
Heart and soul telling me “go”.
This is not my dream!
Heart pounding out of my chest.
Whole body on fire, like I burst into flames.
Eyes dart rapidly. Trying to find something I know.
Find the cord of the lamp on my table.
That was not my dream.
My one faithful, true love betrayed me.
