Vision

We keep our eyes cast down
Swallow stars and unicorns
Time tick tocks stuck and sticky
We sleep in our clothes
Feel the body next to us in the bed
Breathing
Pulse taking
No sleep
No dreams
Windows black
Flowers scorched
All we have is our head
The visions inside
The messages come thick and fast
All a game
A test
We always fail
Body smells bad
Mind all afloat
We lie still
Close our eyes
Imagine what could be
Know what is.
