Contradictions
Please read here if you’re not a member.
A sheet of reality wraps itself around me.
It’s transparent, almost invisible.
Thin and sensitive, it encircles, enrages
As if it is telling me something
Multiple realities collide
Perceptions form and break like storms
Convictions clash,
Fighting for dominance
I observe.
Reality agitates like seawaves,
It resists the change.
So do I.
The chaos brings me down
I tumble. My perspective blurs.
Right and wrong dissolve.
I fight, wrestling for control
I scream. I crumble.
But it isn’t about me anymore
Although it is all of me
How do I fight myself?
Do I look for values or validation?
Do I seek answers or lies?
Do I chase conclusions or delusions?
Droplets fall, the sun rises
The clock ticks as fast as it can
It gets as anxious as it can
I suffocate.
