Hallucinogen

written by: OurSacredHonor

Misconstrued truths of a youth that failed
Led in the wrong direction but the truth was unveiled
Stormy seas of emotion through which we all have sailed
Train of thought, speeding by, soon is derailed

Contemplating unrelated realities
Blinded by the images my mind sends to me
Repetitious and malicious towards mortality
Quaint, faint, and tainted paint chips off a portrait fallen for all to see

Restructure and reconnect
Try to rebuild collapsing bridges that we neglect
The paths once traveled everyday
Now slowly fade away
Yet for some reason today
Yesterday
Doesn't seem so far away
And though my mind may sway
From time to time
I'll continue walking that thin line
Close to the tracks
With the occasional look back
To remind myself how I got here
To try and make the meaning clear
But I can't quite see
And I'm imagining you in front of me

I don't know why
I see you everywhere
But everywhere I turn
I see you standing there
Is it paranoia? Or maybe dej? vu
Or maybe it's because I miss you
Suddenly I feel
A lack of oxygen
It's happening again
You're my hallucinogen

Miscommunication
Misinterpretation
Misevaluation
Hallucination
