We Are Your Reality Now

What is reality?

Is it in the sky?

The whistling wind?

The whispering trees?

Or is it the voices that speak to me?

Ever so softly in the dead silence of the night

Dancing in the wind

Swaying to the silent music

Sweet voices sharing knowledge and helpful suggestions

Dreaming of a world where no harm is done

Wake up

With each passing second the soothing voices grow louder

Suggestions become questionably dangerous

Hinting on what they want to be done

What they want to finish

Walking backwards

Crooked head

Wide open eyes

Listening to the echoing silence waiting for the next word

Aggressive commands

Yelling and screaming

Bouncing off the cranium walls

Shrieking what they demand to be taken care of

Won't stop....

 

Won't stop

WONT STOP

Won'tstopwon'tstopwon'tstop

Circling and over lapping they continue

Chaotic noise fills the overwhelming silence that is reality

Too far gone

Pathetic attempts to cease the faceless demons

Run

Hit

Scratch

Scream

One way out:

 

 

 

 

 

Do what we say...

 

 

 

Think what we think...

 

 

 

WE are your reality now.
