Chimerical (Don't Think About It)

Chimerical (Don't Think About It)

The sky has been falling apart for days now, 

All of the satellites and debris crashed through my living room, 

Splitting all of the picture frames in half. 

I was told that if you slept through a full day

Then you'll end up just fading away, 

Lost inside of a breathless vacuum

In complete nothingness. 

Maybe one day you'll come back into yourself, 

Just to find those tiny pieces of stardust still spilling into your bedroom. 

Everything buried in a pile of rubble. 

I don't know how to live when I'm surrounded by crumbling buildings, 

I don't think I'll ever realize I'm missing, 

Lost in dramatic irony. 

I'm not worried about anybody climbing through my window

In the end I just want to know if I'm still breathing.  

When all your given is the opportunity to fade out. 

Don't think about it. 

(Whatever that means)

You are a amazing young writer. You write with the skill of a veteran writer. The poem is amazing. So many statements were strong.
"I don't know how to live when I'm surrounded by crumbling buildings,

Lost in dramatic irony. '
Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I love this - it really brings out your imagination. A great description of an apocalypse and I really enjoyed the poem. Good wok :D

[Celestial Witch Child]

Phenomenal.

The only thing that I could think of while reading this was an apocalypse... not sure if that was the intention or not but that's what I took from it and enjoyed every second of it. Couldn't find a single flaw.

i love the image which reflects the poems just like wading. wonderful

[MOON]

This is real special way you explain the fear of being blown away end of the world scenario and the second stanza priceless. Lovely

[Mockingbird]

expresses a young person's angst in the world in which they live in. great depiction.

[Alessander]

love the opening. talk about "surreal" - it'd be something to see a satellite in the living room, an actual satellite, not dish. Kinda reminded me a little of that Donny Darko scene.

small typo "you're" not "your"

loved the "when you're given the opportunity to fade out..." kinda wanted the next and last line to read, "Take it" or something along those lines.

Also, sidenote, love the song "change" - I'm almost positive it's about Kafka's "Metamorphosis"

I actually really love the idea of "take it" at the end.. hmmm

One of my favorite pieces by you. Excellent, I feel as though I step into a whole new world. Yet I find I'm trying not to think about it. But all the same I can't help it. It sucks me in and I fall deeper and deeper into it :) Awesome :D
