Characters Of Characters Poem by Breanna Schwartz

I close my eyes
and await slumber
Falling deeper into unconsciousness

I start seeing people
made of words
That configure their personality

The words
Exaggerating their every move
with a few simple letters

Then I see her
the words she's made of
scare and awaken me

Like a shotgun suicide
the words blow my mind
Scared, weak, intimidated.

Then I realize the girl I saw in my dream
was the person I know best.

Myself.
