Lookind around I see,
faces I know,
Faces I love.
All passing by,
like I'm not there.
Is this real?
or am I dreaming?
I run over to one of them,
I try to talk,
But nothing
comes out of my mouth!
Am I still alive?
Am I just an imaginative figure?
What am I?
Who am I?
Am I even real?
I walk over to another friend,
She's looking straight through me?
talking to another person.
What is This?
I'm scared,
Have I been forgotten,
or am I just a memory,
Tears slide down my face,
in hope someone will notice,
and let me know I'm not forgotten.
nothing happens.
I turn around,
and see a lake below.
I run and jump.
this will tell me if I'm alive or not...
I'm falling,
falling,
falling,
Why haven't I hit water?
Why am I falling?
Can anyone save me?
I'm scared,
I'm still falling.
I twist and turn,
trying to see where I am,
all I see is black.
nothing.
I see someone beside me,
and realie I'm walking,
walking through blackness.
a small flame of hope ignites,
maybe they can see me.
She smiles at me,
I smile back.
'Are you scared?'
numbly I nod my head,
not sure if I can speak.
'What you saw up there,
was your worst fear.
Being forgotten by the ones you love.'
'where am I?'
I ask quietly.
'safe.' is the only word
that she says.
She wraps me in a hug,
I'm safe.
I realize who it is I'm walking with,
'Marcy?'
She just smiles and nods.
Slowly the space around us lights up,
We're walking the path on the grounds,
her arm around my shoulders.
I'm back,
I'm alive.
I'm with a person I love.
I look up at her and ask,
'what was that?'
'a dream,
don't worry about it.
The people you saw,
they will never forget you.'
Confused I look at her,
'you watched what happened?'
'Yes, and it hurt to see you like that,
scared, and not sure of your existance.'
She wraps me in another hug,
the warmth comforting.
'I was scared.'
'It's OK, just forget about it'
'thank you'
I look at her again,
she's smiling at me.
'It was just a dream.'
