creepy crawly

goose bumps invade my flesh

figments of my imagination, cascade over my skin

i flinch at the feeling

spiders crawling down my back,

people outside my window,

tears in my eyes,

heart in my stomach,

the buzzing of flies

chills sweep through my spine,

and down my leg, then back up again

panic takes over

im crawling in my own skin

i dare not move, or utter a word

i hold my ground until i come back to the world

the darkness fades the morning comes

the frightening sounds have gone

safe in the daylight, until my imagination comes out to play

this sent shivers down my spine, it was excellent, which is a word i dont normally use, ok, now im babbling, but all in all i loved this poem and it was a very great piece of work, with good imagery and even though it was short, i enjoyed this writing very much and hope to read more of ur writing, now im babbling even more so im just gonna finish typing now. :)
