fever brings me
farther from reality

i ascend
higher than the heavens

leaving behind
worldly possessions

and cutting connections
to earth

because now
I am sky.

I am god and
i am void

I am cloud
I am death

I am life
I am fear

I am ethereal
and I am infinite.

insecurities become irrelevant
body unimportant

I am above suffering.
I watch from a void, vast and

infinite
watching love and death

What a wonderful dream.
And the world stops;

the clouds shatter
and my surroundings

distort into faces
into hues

unseeable by eyes
my body contorts

and I lose my footing on reality.
instead,

i wake up to
the world that my body lives in.

sometimes it seems
as though

I've left my soul
in my void.
