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
