You close your ears
to that you don’t want to hear
you’re limited that way
you think that’s happiness
Watered Down happiness -
you’re not getting the real thing
it’s a delusion
deep down you know different
but you tell yourself
something else
and shut out all others and anything
that would challenge this delusion
of what happiness is
living in a bubble by yourself
it’s lonely in there
so, you fill it with inanimate things
that take up space
and when this space is filled
you think your life is as well
