Margherita Russo Poet Free verse

Lie Down

I'm stranded.
Can't move.
The surface of the earth keeps on calling my body
to lie it down
To feel the heat 
And face the sky
And I feel lonely
Even if there are billion of stars 
looking down at me
I want to close my eyes
but I'm scared
not of seeing my mind
but of seeing the dark 
I can't feel
but I can't stop writing
Just let me stay here a little bit more
only another few seconds 
and then I'll stand up
I swear.
