“Resist much, obey little.”
― Walt Whitman
“If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If youre a pretender com sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!"
Shel Silverstein

Images flow in my head
causing me to feel sick and dead
stomach spinning life is sickening
dreams are thickening
body sickening
fear grabs hold
I no longer feel bold
I call them dreams
but this you see
Is memories of a time I wish not see.

Woah. Great flow. Great rhyme. Like Call_Me_Aria said, fast and intense, but perfect. It makes you imagine and feel what you're reading right away. Awesome poem
