Delusions replace reality, with satisfying
substitutes
Bare-minimums and second-bests to the
rescue
Gravity surrenders, to parachutes of
makeshift truths
Who can choose to know the moment he fell
asleep
My judgmental eyes tell everyone’s story
but mine
The incomplete reflection, the adulterated mirror
image
The absorbed-light-imperfection, fails them
every time
The shell cracks every now and then,
letting in the extraterrestrial, vulnerabilities visible
Traded your sanity for peace, curious hormones shout, your world is on the other side
But I’m spinning; I’ll collapse if I
discontinue, my excuse to go on, but, sensation lifts the curtain
And I face my smiling façade, my eyes,
conditioned to overlook vulgarity, my inside now, out in the open
But then,
I accept I was in denial, and suddenly,
fresh walls surround again
Delusions replace reality, with satisfying
substitutes
Bare-minimums and second-bests to the
rescue
Gravity surrenders, to parachutes of
makeshift truths
I laugh after the scare is over, like the
fear was unreal
I carve reality to fit my laws, like the
world was ideal
There’s lightning, then there’s thunder,
but I shut my eyes, I seal my ears,
For the silent seconds of hope amid,
whisper,
The only voice I’ve learnt to hear, the
storm is not near
And then I write, to let go, the need needs
to be fed
Words help me relapse, to my temporary
defense
I disown my darkness again, consciously
subconscious
Half asleep and falling, in denial - acceptance
