Talking, talking in your sleep
Saying words without a peep
Quiet question
Silent answer
Speaking through a veil of sleep

Heart strings string with every word
Thought spoken to be unheard
A cry for help
With no return
And to disappear without a word

Waking to a confusing sound
Hearing you heart beat pound
Where am I?
What happened?
Thoughts listen to a beeping sound

The author's comments:
As I walk down the halls of school, I often picture myself as being something, or doing something that is unlike me. Then when I hit my locker bank, I have to leave my day dream, and come back to reality.
