I needed to get away
Reality was haunting me
There was no where left to run
No where left to hide
I locked myself in my room
But Reality broke the lock
Found me cowering in the corner
I had no where left to go.
I found a way to escape
Found a place where Reality was gone
My knife was the key
My skin was the door
I took my key to the door
To open up my Haven
And chase away Reality.
Before the Light blinded me
I saw the inside of my Haven
The Light was slow to reach my eyes
Then it came pouring
A pure Light
A beautiful Light
A calming Light
A red Light.
I watched it spread slowly
Taking away Reality
Covering it with its purity
I could no longer see the scars
The marks left from before
Reality covered by the Light.
There was no pain
The Light took it away
My heartbeat dropped
As I began to relax
The Light dripped to the floor
Covering more Reality
Soon my gaze was only red
The pure, red Light.
Soon the Light stopped coming
Chased back by Reality
It darkened and lost it’s purity
Hardened by Reality
The Light was soon killed
Trapped by Reality
It changed forms
Forced by Reality
The Light itself
Was soon part of Reality.
My Haven was soon locked
The door destroyed forever
Reality ruined it
My key opened more doors
Releasing more Light
Soon to be chased down
Destroyed by Reality
The Light became a drug
I needed it to survive
It took away Reality
But I needed more
More Light for the same job
I opened more doors
Larger doors
More room for the Light to escape
Reality got stronger
Killed the Light faster
Destroyed more doors
It was beating me
Killing my Haven.
It took my key
Flung it from my hand
Hid it in the brush
The darkness of Reality
Disguised it as an act of my own will.
I’ve submitted to Reality
It beat me down
Took away my key
Bulldozed my openings
Stole away any hope
Of ever again
Seeing my Haven.
