"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." - Lewis Carroll
Grapple at the reigns of reality
I don't want to fall down any deeper
Because once do I fear
I won't get out
My fear is overtaking me
My heartbeat speeds up
And
I need to escape from my own
Body
Away from my own mind
Myself
But there's nowhere to go but earth
I am confined to the space I know
I wish there was a way to see things differently
I feel trapped in the space I was given
I claw at the sides but there is now way out
No
Way
Out
Panic sets in and I try to breathe
Go on a a run and make sense of it all
Stand under the burning water of the shower
To try to feel something more
I stand there and wish for change
Wish I could find it within myself
I feel numb.
I decide it's time
To try something new
I wish I could climb the highest mountains and
Forget about you
Not just you, everyone
Who has ever made my life a living hell
Leave them all behind to where it's just
Me, myself, and my mind
But I wouldn't be struggling against the confines
I would be truly free
I would breathe in the cold fresh air
Go on adventurous voyages and
Leave everyone I knew behind and
Wouldn't even care.
