An idea consumes your mind
Making you believe in its truth
Pushing you deeper, it starts its feed
Feeding on all your held beliefs
Till there are none left
Infecting you
Overtaking you
Resting within you
Tricks you into believing this is where all is right
As you succumb to the infection, this dream world appears
This idea takes you into the dream world
Living life as you think it should be lived
You stay in this new, wonder-filled world.
Forgetting what’s true
Until you see it…
A small projection of what you use to know
It sends shivers and spasms throughout your body
The truth comes flooding back
Like water from Katrina
You want to
Need to
Escape
The damage is irreparable
Irreversible
Forever left with the damage
