As I fall to sleep
Sheep and numbers in my head
I have an image of you, her
Maybe me?
Gracie
Her arm is unmarked
She takes a knife to her skin
Beautiful blood rushes
Gracie is alive
They were wrong when the said she wasn't here
But she will disappear before your eyes
Too deep she has gone
Veins she can see
Like a map flowing
Directing her path
Mesmerized by her arm
Her flesh, broken
Her muscles, the lines
What she has done
Success
Her veins, like what she eats
When her mother misses bits
To cut off her meat
She takes her knife again
Pressured by her thoughts
Into her arm the blade sinks
Little Gracie girl cuts her own meat
Takes out her own fork
She takes a bite
As you turn in disgust
Author notes
This (not very good) poem is based on a dream/image I had when half awake. I chose the title as part of my inspiration.

Hummm.... I'd say this dream is about suicide. Thanks for being part of this contest. Good luck.

A very scary and disgusting write I must say. I've had some similar nightmares of gore... Best of Luck!

Oh, gross! (first reaction) A mesmerizing dream that turns totally bizarre, no small wonder you turn away! Great stuff.

I need to think about this work more, but at first read I liked it a lot, there was emotion and a story behind it. Best off luck in the contests.

hahahah i remember u told me about that! i didn't realise you wrote a poem about it. well done!

Wow, this was a real dream? I'd be so freaked out if that was my dream! It is really cool though how dreams can be better than horror movies tho =P
This isn't that bad, especially if your trying to remember and interpret a real dream. Great write!
Thanks for entering!
