[understand]

I ask that you all give me as much feedback as you possibly can on this one. I am considering using it as my opening piece for a online community I have joined recently, and I want to make sure it is the best that I can do. Even an “I like it”, or an “I don’t like it” is better than nothing at all.

In shadows
Hidden
Waiting
And everything seems okay
And it is
Until Someday
Someday I’ll POUNCE
And you’ll wonder what happened

Pounce

I want to wash myself in a cold hard rain,
clothe myself in clean blades of green grass,
and pull the dark grey clouds up under my chin.
I want the wind to whisper me lullabys,
and the birds to sing me to sleep.
And just as I am about to doze off,
I want the moon to switch off the sun and be my nightlight.
And in my earthly slumber, I will forget all of this.
