Images flow in my head
causing me to feel sick and dead
stomach spinning life is sickening
dreams are thickening
body sickening
fear grabs hold
I no longer feel bold
I call them dreams
but this you see
Is memories of a time I wish not see.

Woah. Great flow. Great rhyme. Like Call_Me_Aria said, fast and intense, but perfect. It makes you imagine and feel what you're reading right away. Awesome poem
