I am forever in a state of delusion and dreaming that blinds me from reality I spend hours imaging the most perfect version of myself that I want to be but fail to be I convince myself reality is like what I’m conjuring up the realisation that it's not, crushes me I am always surprised every time Like it's something new I am standing behind myself waiting to step inside myself and embrace reality and embrace the person I am but I cannot because I hold my hopes in the person I could be Sometimes I feel like I want to step outside of myself but every attempt I always fall off a cliff I want to peel these layers of ******** I am hiding under I am searching for the calm An end to these hideous emotions that have become a burden Dizzy from going around in circles in this tiny world with such an insignificant existence Repeating the same behaviours Being eaten by the same conflictions I have been fighting demons for years And I have spent a decade fighting myself when I should've been happy Sometimes it feels as though the walls inside my head are caving in My head is caving in Scraped knees, dirt in my finger nails from the muddy ground of my tortured mind in a vain attempt to crawl through the spaces back to reality again A prisoner of my own mind how does one escape themselves?! I can't find the door There are too many corridors and clutter I have to create my own door Through the top of my  head
