Illusions of Living

I wish I could say it
I wish I could be it

Someone Else:
Someone dark
Someone stunning
Someone raucous
Someone fearless

Pangs sear through me
I'm the constant
The boring
The sickeningly sweet
The goody two-…
Why shoes?

A fish
Bored with table-top living
A fish
Pushes her
Glass bowl off of the
Cotton-covered table

falling
Falling
FALLING
The exhilaration is
Overwhelming

The crash - perception - freedom
The crash - reality - death
Can’t catch her
Breath
Gasping for air as she dries on the
Ground

Yes.
Shoes.
Choose to walk
Into
Death
Or
Life.

Which will she pursue?
The illusion
The Truth

The choice is yours as well.
