This hauntingly daunting feeling
The unreality of watching my dreams unfold before my eyes
Watching them rip off their disguise
Thoughts swirl in my mind
Like clouds in the sky
A visceral vestige of future past
Tracing my fingers along the cast
A mold holding me back
Unsure of how to act
Retracting and refraining from the pain
Following the process
Unsure of the outcome
What have I become
A ship with no anchor
Drifting from the surety of the shore
Security felt no more
Yet
Adventure awaits on the horizon
Thus, it is time to try again

This is a beautiful piece. We done.
I like this one a lot, It's stirring and yet has some nice cadence to it.
Beautiful, well written, and creative work.
