I sit here
amidst these clouds
They look silent and peaceful
But still some Eerie feeling it shouts
A kingdom in itself they are
Boundless they seem
Huge castles untouchable
Maybe contain a life unseen
I descend; slowly
No it is real fast; my eyes can't capture
I'm scared; a sense of horror
Fear; my bones feel fractured
We clash these castles made of nothing
Everything peaceful still frightening
Thud, thud, I've touched the ground
My vision is straightening
It was just a journey
And I have reached my destination
All my thoughts have ended
All those imagined creations
When will I vanquish this stupid fright
Those sudden frightful chills
Fear of the inevitable
The unwanted thrill
*this poem indicates my fear of traveling in planes after I've been on them for something like 50 times*
