Reality

By cre

Descending into deep confusion
What I see is my illusion
Shrouded tales as gospel posed
Reality has been transposed

Mirrors casting odd reflections
Odder still upon inspection
Grasping shadows, balance slides
In this dimension solace hides

Playing games of cat and mouse
Lost inside this conjured house
Elusion is the master plan
The only way to win this hand

Maddening maze of persecution
Trapped inside my own delusion
Slick thick black and chambered gloom
Shades of darkness cloaking doom

Familiar feel of trepidation
With no hope of consolation
Most other feelings lost by now
Would lose this too if I knew how

Hazy views and half perceptions
Is this real or mere deception
Cobwebs strangle struggling thoughts
For far too long this fight we've fought

Giving in to this intrusion
As they say, I'm disillusioned
Sinking slowly to the floor
Far too tired for any more

This game and lost mentality
Has done me in, at last I see
Nothing is as it should seem
It's merely dreamt reality.

Such great thoughts, and the blur of what is real is such a vivid almost dreamlike illusion. Very well done!

reading your work sometimes makes me want to write better and then other times makes me want to stop writing, because I feel it'll never be as good as yours.

that said, though... i wish i could rhyme like this... i'm jealous. the only snag i see, when I read it i get snagged on the rhythm on line 4, otherwise everything seems to flow good.

re: subject matter, the idea that arises then, if it is all just a dream, then it really is what we make it
