Daring, Daring, Daring.
This dream was a trap, lost was to be my soul.
But I crept into this darkness,
To this lost chamber of my mind.
I sought it out, to grasp onto this lack of reality.

They didn't understand;
Simply thought I was losing my mind.
Maybe, just maybe I really was.
Though at least I was finding myself.
The me who was engulfed...locked inside myself.
They said I was turning into the dark hollows.
But, to tell you the truth, I was embracing the light.
By daring to dream.

This is written for :iconlive-love-write:'s weekly writing prompt, 'Daring to dream.'

Critiques would be grand.

Thank you for participating in our prompt at #Live-Love-Write! <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/a/l…" alt=":iconlaspinplz:" title="Laspinplz"/>

I like your approach here! The story of this piece unfolded nicely; especially with the mentions of the narrator mentioning how others viewed her. The contrast between the opinions of others and her actual conceptions were well written.

I do think that developing the trap element you mentioned in the first stanza in a clearer way might have made things more interesting. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod"/> And one little thing I noticed; after the "..." in the second stanza, you have a space that doesn't necessarily have to be there.

All in all, good work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" title="La la la la"/>
