My mind is a blur with the unknown

When did reality leave me?
Was there a specific time?
Was it the time I thought I saw him standing here,
when he was really never there?
Or was it the time I saw her pale, blue face on a metal slate?

I can hardly distinguish reality from dreams
What’s wrong with me?

Maybe my fake world is easier than the real one
Or maybe I can’t fight anymore
Maybe I’ve given up and it’s my turn to sleep

Sleep to get away from it all
To get away from his harsh words
And her not being there anymore

Maybe there’s something better
Maybe that something is the somewhere where she is
Or
Maybe since life gave up on me I should give up on it

I’m caught between two worlds and don’t know which one is which…

Reality can make us wish we were just dreaming and could wake up...so I can relate very well to this lovely piece of sharing. Thank you

I can relate. Excellent job.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
