I am not real

By Despair

I awaken shivering, drowning
Falling deeper as I rise
Into the hole that I have dug
For myself 
And no one else


I slumber peacefully, painfully
Trying to figure out
The extent of the damage and the pain
That I refuse to feel
I am not real

    Thanks, glad you like it.

  • A former member wrote: Who's to say that dreams are fake and that life is reality? People create their own dimensions of existence, accepting what is and what is not real to them.

    Very true. I think about that question quite often.
