he didn’t know
how beautiful he was
he just knew
the joy inside of him
had to be expressed
he didn’t realize
the world was falling apart
around him
he just
wanted to dance
he didn’t see
how twisted everything
had become
how jaded and deadly
he just wanted to have fun
no one had the heart
to tell him
that what he saw
was an illusion
so they just smiled
and let him keep his dream
and all the while
no one admitted
that everything they saw
was an illusion as well
so they just kept pretending

If that brings happiness then why not living an illusion 😉
Beautiful poem!
Thank you. More and more we are moving into 1984 snd Soma. People will drop out when they can no longer tolerate, or live in. this country any longer.
Yes. Very true!
The reality we see
are just reflections
off the mirrors
in our mind!
There is no other way for us to live.
Beautiful dear Gigi. A little heartbreaking too. ❤️
Seems like more and more things are heartbreaking nowadays.
