Don't Blink.

Keep eye contact

Shit.

It's so loud in here.

Lashing out till I can figure out how to get things to quiet down.

Even though I try and try.

No use to keep going anymore.

Censor it out till you can come.

Even the Weeping Angels are being silenced.

Having a creative imagination has no limitations. My favourite past time is just dumping all my thoughts on to paper and seeing where it goes.

    Now, that's a powerful opening line. The rest of he poem didn't disappoint, either! Great entry, Jen.
