amelie’s 119th Dream

I entered the room
But it kept getting warmer,
Till it was filled with
My blushing heat,
And clammy strangers
Decided it was topical
To discuss my underwear.
I knew I must be drunk
Or dreaming because
I was witty and bright;
Five feet ten and a cleavage.

Also, my mobile phone
Refused to stay silent,
Arguing it was a symbol
Of my grand status.
People I didn’t know
Came up to reminisce,
And I met a man
Who wanted my love;
I offered all I had to give,
But he settled for cash
And my credit card.

I was in the colours of May,
But all around was November;
And I stood at a high window,
Catching snowflakes on my tongue,
With people whispering below,
Saying, I’d been up too long,
It was time to bring me down.
I said, I don’t mind the fall,
It’s the way things have to be;
I just hope I have left inside
Someone, I can still call me.

They said, I didn’t have
A mind of my own;
But to prove them wrong,
I turned myself into
A supermarket trolley
And ran over their toes,
As the alarm clock went off,
And I realised it was
Time to begin therapy.

I liked teh structure of this piece, the commas and several stanzas make it seem fractured and broken in parts, just like a dream if you like. A rather humourous end to it which was unexpected but pleasant nonetheless. Great job here Melis.
