Simulacrum

Simulacrum

A Poem by R.A. Youngblood

Laying dazed in the grass of sorrow.
The sky is falling down.
Something's coming, I can feel it.
Oh, Love brought me some water,
But the water's thirsty.
Felling so afraid in this bruising darkness,
But something suddenly strikes away the chains of trepidation.
Is it hope?
I don't know, But affliction sets it up again.
Stars are scattering the way I imagine
And I'm wondering why.
Ostensible silence surrounding me.
Puzzlement coming,
Because the stars are not moving anymore.
Mentally disintegrating,
Afraid to fly.
Fear is devouring my wings.
Feathers everywhere.
Blood dripping.
Screaming to stop.
Agony savoring with my pain.
Maybe I really want to fly among those stars,
Escape from this faceless enemies.
Maybe I really want to fly among something unfamiliar to me,
Because this mystification stimulates my desire for flying.
Victimized.
Managing.
Encouraging myself to get out of this simulacrum's eye.
Swinging my wings,
Taking a flight.

Hmm..I was laying in my bed, and then suddenly inspiration BAM! Just like that. Tell me if there's any grammar mistakes or something. Dude, It's weird because I usually rhyme, but not this time. Gotta try something different. Thanks :D

Picking up some of your imagery: Spread your wings, leap and fly!
It's always good to try something new, because the outcome might just be as lovely as this. Adds some free flow feel to it that it doesn't rhyme, which I think is nice.
I find the paradoxa in there, like "But the water's thirsty." or "Because the stars are not moving anymore." intriguing. Great write!

I can see the cogs practically turning in your mind when reading this... For me - It's a little difficult to interpret, but then again I just need to allow the words to flow and decipher my own interpretation. Excellent work!
