Daydreaming and Dissociating
Dissociation is a way of transcending one's own boundaries,
A feeling of weightlessness, of drifting in the viscosity of thoughts,
Daydreaming as a kind of state without space and time,
Lost in a Penrose triangle of emotions or feelings,
Nothing endures there, at the same time everything is there,
Like a library where the books only have empty pages,
A concert without music, without sounds, without lutes,
A meadow where no flowers grow or where flowers will never bloom,
A journey without a destination,
The body and mind reorganise, they change and adapt,
In essence, dissociating is a kind of daydreaming, only much less pleasant,
Daydreaming and dissociating fight for supremacy in me every day.

Daydreaming and Dissociating
Dissociation is a way of transcending one's own boundaries,
A feeling of weightlessness, of drifting in the viscosity of thoughts,
Daydreaming as a kind of state without space and time,
Lost in a Penrose triangle of emotions or feelings,
Nothing endures there, at the same time everything is there,
Like a library where the books only have empty pages,
A concert without music, without sounds, without lutes,
A meadow where no flowers grow or where flowers will never bloom,
A journey without a destination,
The body and mind reorganise, they change and adapt,
In essence, dissociating is a kind of daydreaming, only much less pleasant,
Daydreaming and dissociating fight for supremacy in me every day.
I was writing this when I was sitting in my favourite coffee store, while drinking a delicious coffee and experienced multiple dissociated moments.
