He hit me with those eyes,
a thousand lifetimes deep,
and I took the plunge
into an ocean of ideas best left alone,
dove down into a cavern of fathomless pressure,
pirouetted, and ascended, reclaiming the surface
between real life and dreams,
relying on tension to keep me afloat.
About the Creator
Harper Lewis
I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and all kinds of witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me.
I’m known as Dena Brown to the revenuers and pollsters.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
