Waking with tension
Pulled back by the darkness
The restful and restlessness
Unnerves my body
My mind concedes to its own will
I yearn to move
But I’m somewhere else
Between this place
And another
Existential walls sedate this reality
Feeling the languid drape
Of its touch
My will gives up
And I sink further down
Hidden
In an upside down
Twisted
Palace of play
It has me
And I love it
Enraptured by its weight
I lay and its agents
Of madness
Pull on secret yearnings
Scuttling through my body
Reality is a dream
And the dream is-
What?
What is this?
A new place?
A hidden void all for me?
I have sunk deeper
Creatures of curated thought
Trample on fears and temptations
Truth burns through
And enigmatic abstract
Maniacs
Riot
In the corners of my mind
And yet
I still lie still
Immovable
Begging to wake
