i cannot help but think as i read this,, that in essence fear is a "mouthful of lost dreams"... after all it is fear of missing out on that which is to come isn't it in essence that is the basis for all fear??? wow... i have to think on this for awhile.....
The words are totally frenetic and capture the feelings so well. Besides the fact that I can relate to this poem, though likely in different ways, its pacing and style are perfect.
Wow! Your words made me feel claustrophbic!
