Boy! Re-reading this really hit home! I wrote this last year and while I do still find much in common with this poem, my attitude is most certainly more optimistic. Hope you all enjoy :)
Dizzyingly disconnected from the world I inhabit
Reality is so close I can almost grab it
But with a mind clouded by haze
I stumble over words, and destroy a phrase
Sometimes it’s hard to see meaning in this
A life unfulfilled; away its been pissed
The times that days are clear
Are welcome changes that I fear
Not because clarity is something to despise
It’s a revelation I’d rather not realize
Because the days that follow are the worst of all
An attainment, in which I wish to stall
It’s an awful reminder of what one can be
When locked in a cage and never set free
