reality vs. the mind
it’s comfortable,
your mind.
sometimes it feels as if
it’s bigger than the universe.
you can build your own cities
from scratch.
you can rule your own countries,
maybe even own a palace.
you can be rich and famous,
or a starving artist
working at a pizzeria
who falls in love
that’s no different
than the love
of the rich and famous.
you could be a 14 year old girl
who’s self worth is defined
by the guy from Canada
who doesn’t think about the fact
that he’s watching a 14 year old
who doesn’t know a thing,
but how to turn you
into
something she doesn’t understand.

Play.
Pause.
Play.
Pause.
Just 5 seconds of distraction
Just 10 seconds of feelings
Just 20 seconds of feeling okay
Just 30 seconds of not listening
Just 40 seconds of where am I
Just 50 seconds of is it too late
Just wait a minute, just wait one minute.
And it’s been a year, it’s been year
It’s been almost two years.
And I’ve seen almost almost all 50 states,
countries,
counties,
and cities
of my mind.
Then one day,
I was shaken out of this coma.
