In my nightmare

I’m a balloon

Floating upward

Out of control

Gripped by the vastness

Of nothing

Lost in the sky

Irreversibly detached from

Everyone and everything

No connections

Frantic in silence

Scream stuck inside

Floating weightless

Forever alone

Waiting to pop

Heading to die

Terrified

Because

Who am I?

If

I

Am

Untethered
