Mindset

I live among dreams and fictional people
in chapters of books whose endings never came.
I wander among them searching,
for anything, to make the nightmares of everyday life somehow disappear.
The people I speak to, don't really exist
they are just shadows along the already shadowed path this is my life.

The chapters and books, however may be quite real
in words like these in bounds of leather.

However the dreams aren't quite either.
They live on middle ground somewhere far above both
reality and thought-to-be.
I come to them the most, fearing of the shadows, frightened by light
sleeping in a misty daze terrified of life.

this piece depicts a nuanced fight to survive the physical and emotional challenges of everyday life. most writers armed themselves with vivid imagination ... and most of us survive and many of us do more than survive. carry on.
