Reality

In my head,

I am true.

I am genuine,

I am who I aspire to be.

But I am always drawn back,

Back to the real world.

The world full of misery,

and pain,

and morbid society.

I am not scared,

Of this real world.

I am only crestfallen.

There is no use in being scared 

of something that is inevitable.

But I cannot disregard this

repugnant population.

So I retreat,

back to my head. 

Back to my head I go,

Where happiness is more common 

than murder and crime.

Author's Note

Writer's block has really hit me recently, sorry that I've not uploaded much. I finally got this out, not sure how to feel about it.

A sad rendition of life and the fear it often creates for us a s individuals.

[marcus]

very good...reality is....subjective!

[Willard Wells]

Yes we write from similar places and look at much of society with a passing glance to avoid the negative nature of so much of the world. Very nice work and thank you for sharing. BTW, writers block for me is the demons are a sleep and don't want to come out and play sometimes. Damn that happiness.

I love the existential angel you've been implementing within your poetry, Tina. You're touching on the most relatable fears and feelings of all.

In your head you are anything and everything....yet when one steps out, one steps into creation. ... See your poem got me thinking. Nice One!

Thanks for sharing. How are you different in your head?

[Tina]

Thanks for reviewing! In my head, I'm the person that I strive to be. I'm free to be myself and I'm full of joy in ways that I can't be in real life, because I'm around people/things that prohibit that.

I got some context from your previous write.
It's sad watching babies cry for attention, Its irritating watching kids scream for it, and it is disgusting seeing adults do it. Babies do it because it works. Kids do it until they get a response they don't like. And adults do it because they never grew up. Trust your feelings. The force is with you. Don't leave the blast shield down. Ya, I'm fruity. Take care
