My eyes are able to contort my thoughts in the darkness in such a way that behind my lids puzzle pieces of scenarios are produced They try to fit together They become abrasive adding friction to the texture of my mind When I lift my body up abruptly from these makeshift thoughts it feels like my lungs are flooded with double edged images It’s like I’m resurfacing, breaking through the thin veil between the elements of reality And I sit up fast to find myself alone in the dark gasping for air I can prop myself up before I can feel myself in the sleeve of my body It makes me believe my movements are independent from my thoughts My body’s mechanics are able to pull me away from what had trapped me behind my eyes

To Awake
My eyes are able to contort my thoughts in the darkness in such a way that behind my lids puzzle pieces of scenarios are produced They try to fit together They become abrasive adding friction to the texture of my mind When I lift my body up abruptly from these makeshift thoughts it feels like my lungs are flooded with double edged images It’s like I’m resurfacing, breaking through the thin veil between the elements of reality And I sit up fast to find myself alone in the dark gasping for air I can prop myself up before I can feel myself in the sleeve of my body It makes me believe my movements are independent from my thoughts My body’s mechanics are able to pull me away from what had trapped me behind my eyes
