Lost in Tunnel Vision

[missedit]

Alright this is my first time so be gentle.

Lost in tunnel vision of what I want the world to be
They say if I took the blinders off
The supposed truth would be the death of me.
Sometimes I catch on to this empty lie
But I’ve been carried along so far
I can’t function with the truth.
So when the pain is too much I get high
I’ve lost my place, wondering where I am.
Am I alive? Or am I just awake?
20 pills later I’m totally sedated
But my hands still shake
The tremors run through my body like earthquakes.
I have no desire to clean up my act
I feel I’ve gone too far
The rope is too jagged to retract.
Walking this rough terrain
My muscles ache and through all the agony
My thoughts still strain on the empty truth
And fruitful lies
I don’t want agony, I want pleasure
Even if I believe your lie
And dishonor myself from the truth
I may have what I desire
But not the foundation, I need.
I’d rather the fruitful lie
Brought on by my root instinct, greed.

We are each, a new Universe ~~*

There are, indeed, many ways of expanding perception;

The furthest out One may go, is within. :)

id say kick the pills and you have a chance to take life on your own terms. no need of blinders.
