A Dream

I stood at the top of the cliff

The drop below seemed deadly

As I forced myself to not make a tiff

Because this dream was dreadly


One wrong step would create a fall

What lies below yet unknown

The beating inside my chest felt like a brawl

As my impending fear felt ingrown


A creature appears in the distance

As I stand by myself so alone

Its body so big I couldn’t believe its existence

Body so still, it could have turned to stone


I awake in my bed

My head pounding like sticks on a drum

The intensity so dread

I close my eyes and wait for the sun

This piece details a dream that I have had and remember distinctly. It was a scary dream and I tried to portray that emotion within the poem with my word choices.
