Concentrate on this.
Give it
you attention, undivided.
I have made for you
such a perfect reality
here.
Don’t turn away.
Vile, ungrateful one.
To put sunlight to flesh
is a death begun.
Bathe only in my glow.
I’ll show you things
that the world cannot offer.
There are lessons here,
but they are softer.
Just don’t look
at what I’m taking from you.
Deny the trees.
Deny the sky.
Deny your body.
Just live inside.
This world of mine,
I made for you.
There’s nothing in your life
you can compare it to.
I know what you don’t,
and I’ll suspend your disbelief.
I’ll give you a world
that offers everything freely.
Just give up on it all.
Every night,
and every dawn.
Every touch,
and come along with me.
I’ve got a new reality
for you.
Why try,
only to fail?
The world out there
isn’t even fair.
The life you live
isn’t even yours.
I can show you so much more.
Just ignore
what you think you know.
Concentrate on this.
Give me
your life in its entirety.
I swear,
it will be better
than those vile,
ungrateful ones.
I am your new life begun.
