Dreaming in a rainbow jungle

Hours, hours, hours
Such a change
from the past few weeks
endless nights
of restless sleep.
lions clawing at her legs
so much meat
luscious nutrition for
their hungry stomaches
no food for days
leeches in her hair
slimy, sucking her confidence
into their black hole bodies
monkeys screech in her ears
"not worth it"
"you're smelly"
"banana orange face"
nonsense words

Open your eyes
lions, leeches, and monkeys (oh my)
are gone.
tiptoed out on cat feet
to hide in a shadowy corner
were they ever even here?
No, but open your eyes
does she need help
or just someone to talk to?
...the monkeys are back
with their nonsense words.

    You must have really been bored in Biology class to create something this awesome. :) It is good, I liked it.

    ...but really :P lions leeches and monkeys! BRILL!!! Absolutely positootly awesome.

    And I like the "nonsense words" ...because they might have no sense, but they do have meaning... :shrug: YEAH
