Distractions Poem by Anthony Levitt

Distractions



I keep myself from the truth because its there,
I hide inside my imagination so I don't have to be aware.
My feelings they are locked and then I throw away the key...
But no matter how hard I try my life always manages to find me.

See the more I drift away the harder i get pulled back in,
and once I am its so uncomfortable I become like an overflowed bin...
All the trash it gets all over me and it stinks like hell, because now I have to clean it up, except... I don't know how?

So instead I make create bigger illusions and hope they swallow me whole... Because, in then end i don't want to notice that I've stopped going with the flow...

See there's a bigger picture one I'm meant to see...
But all I keep doing is trapping me...
My fantasy, the story it can be very real, instead I've chosen to ignore it and take another deal...

I want pretend, I want the lie...
Because life seems easier if I don't know why...
