    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.
