Daydreamer and the Fear of Flying

Missing image

 

 

~~~~~

 

I’ve been accused of daydreaming

and letting the sum of my life

become just a series of blinks and nods

in the rapid eye movement

But flashes of insight seen from the outside

don’t show the rips in the upholstery

or fear the skeletons buried in the basement

under the cement floor of experience

 

It’s just a technique ...

this propensity to pretend to fly

instead of tumbling head first

into a mind crushing free fall

 

Coz you gotta believe you could ride the sky

or you'll be swallowed by the gravity

 



~~~~~

Author notes

I don't know ... just tired of people telling me I dream too much ... give me something to wake up for then ... hahaha

    Hell yeah! I completely agree with every statement you said in this; my entire life I've been told I had my head up in the clouds, I'm dreaming my life away, blah blah blah. And now, suddenly, my friends are telling me that i'm not dreaming enough. It's enough to make me scream. Heh, sorry to vent, your poem brought it out, which is a high-paid compliment to your poetry skills. This is an absoult beauitful peice, and there's a kind of longing underneath the words. Oooh, and I love the picture!
