Faint

We all stood screaming,
Yelling, and moving fast.
When the world suddenly stopped,
Then started moving fast.
Faster than the speed of sound,
Faster than the speed of light.
I lost my balance and my sight.
It hurt,
But not enough to keep me down,
I got up and heard a deadly sound.
A screaming, not coming from people like before;
A high pitch scream that could shatter glass,
I grabbed my ears,
Pressed my face to my knees,
I would've stayed there forever,
Waiting for it to pass.
Then I feel a pull in me,
It helped me to my feet again.
My vision was blurred the whole time,
Until now.
My eyes starting working again,
And when it did,
My eyes saw a hundred more staring back at me.
At least I'm content again.

up to the skies.
Thing like that drive me

I love to watch things on TV." - Lou Reed
