My False Reality

I step along, trying
Not to fall in.
The raging waters soar beneath me,
Beckoning me to
Submerge myself
Into desire.
It's so easy to fall
When the rocks have already been
Drenched
With the blood of my
Willpower,
Daring me to slip.
I tell myself I want to
Resist, but
It's quite obvious that
I don't want to.
I want to become soaked in
The utter

Ambience,

Feeling the liquid
Work its magic,
Prying my eyes open and letting me
See the world
As it should be-
Even though I know it's just an

i l l u s i o n.

I close my eyes and
Let myself

F

A

L

L

From the safety of the
Stepping stones
Only to discover
That the river
Has run
D r y.
I weep as I
Realize that
I may never be able to
Return
To my
False
Reality
Ever again.
