Needing a break
from this feeling of disbelief.
How have I found
my place inside the beast?
Whether I want to be,
or not,
here I remain.
Setting me free,
was a dream
I let escape.
Feeling around
in the dark
for a door.
Stumbling up
and down
the stair.
Pretty sure,
I’ve been over all of this before.
So sure,
it’s there;
the way that I came in.
Emerge from the vacant place.
The void.
The place between worlds.
All this time
I begged for experience;
a different life
than mine.
In other words;
nothing is the same,
anymore.
Once you’ve seen the inside,
the sky looks different.
Everyone’s the same,
but I can’t bring myself
to count myself,
amongst the
blissfully ignorant.
I know
how dark it gets,
and the terrible things you will do
to feed the hunger,
to feed the fire.
Now,
you all know a little bit, too.
Look up,
and tell me
that the sky doesn’t look different.
Where are the clouds?
Where are the stars?
Why is it so dark?
Did I just hear you move?
