Alive

A Dreamlike Reality

The lights go dim

I know it's about to happen

The moment I've been waiting for

I can feel it in my heart

I'm becoming aroused

I can feel it in my mouth

I'm beginning to salivate

My eyes go wide and bright

And suddenly I feel high

I can almost hear my heartbeat

The anticipation is killing me

I'm restless

I can feel the excitement radiating from everyone else

It all feels right

After what seems like a pause in time

It finally begins

I can feel my legs begin to shake

I can feel a rush of emotions inside me

I can feel my soul leave my body as I scream

Every single particle of my body is raging

I'm in a state of mind I have never been to before

A dreamlike reality

It's like I was never alive until this very moment

About the Creator

Esme Alvarez

I started writing as a way of getting things off my chest or head. It makes me feel a little less crazy. To those that are living in fear due to mental illness: you are strong, you are a warrior and you are not alone.
