Dreamland. Poem by Naomie Dugdale

Dreamland.



I breathed in and out and began to repeat,
Then I noticed my heart paused on a beat.
My knee's shook and I got so weak.
Suddenly a single shiver struck my spine,
Then out of nowhere I was fine.
I realised I had been in a trance,
a daydream in a faraway land.
Getting notions of real magic,
Never believed untill now it's tragic.
A place where happy endings exist,
Not one detail I could have missed.
Doesn't seem possible back in reality,
but whatever it was the magic had me.
It was all okay and nothing seemed wrong,
untill I woke up and it was all gone.
What would happen if I were to go back there?
And all my memories I'd keep to share.
Would I be selfish to leave so sudden?
Would anyone miss me, they probably shouldn't.
I would feel better and I would be free,
but here its not okay to dream.
I'd give anything just to be calm,
nobody knows how stressed I am.
So turn up the music,
because I am choosing,
to go back to my dreamland,
for as long as I can.
Going to stop in this moment and forget my worries.
Don't plan to start in much of a hurry.
This time is mine to use how I please,
So bring on the shivers and weaken my knee's.
