Progression Into Insanity
Sleep
sleep is a funny thing
Isn't it
Going Comatose for a bit
"Hallucinating" vividly
and then forgetting all about it
But sometimes, you remember
and even when you don't remember the dream,
right after you wake up,
you remember how it felt
And every time you sleep you fall into this dream
This parallel universe
and every time you phase in
It's harder to phase out
Every time you wake up
and every time you fall asleep
It's a little but different
And you leave a little bit behind
One night you see the shadows and the monsters
and the next night you see theri faces
and then you feel their webbed, paper cutting claws caging your brain
and they don't come every night
but when they do,
It's absolutley terrifying
and they want to keep you fom going to the dream world
And after a while you stop telling yourself they don't exist
And begin telling yourself they cant really hurt you
That they enjoy,
plainly
to taunt you
And it's arduous work, falling asleep
and a harder time waking up
Because every time you dream you're a little more real
And every time you wake up you're a little more dead
(Because you know what you're missing out on)
And one day you'll sit up in your bed
And realize you don't belong to your body
or even your mind
as if they are separate from you
You try to make a ffist
but it's not yours
and every movement of light and shadow
Every unexpected noise
The monsters are there
The hellish visions confuse you
What's real and what isn't
Which reality is the dream
But all you want to do is escape to these vivid worlds
as outlandish and crazy and illogical as they are
and to be asleep
Because in your dreams
You're Alive
So much more
Alive
Than you've ever been
Awake
(Disclaimer - this piece was designed to be experienced by preformance, meaning, hearing someone (me) speak it. It's not very good for analyzing. just entertaining in speech . And for those of you that missed my on mic preformance, you missed the good one. i know i gave a second one in the hallway for my hoes who missed it (jk jk, ily), it wasn't nearly as good as the first one.
no more bathroom breaks for you >.<)
