Drawn to..?


My best time lately has been spent..
In my dreams.

I can't tell you all of what happened in them. But, I know that when I managed to wake up.. I didn't want to. I was told, you are tired. But, I know that's not it. I just know that something in there, was comforting. I didn't want to let it go, ever. I wish I could tell you what it was. Even though I never broke my cycle of waking up in spans of two to three hours segments.. I easily fell back into that lull. Just as though I never even awakened from it. Even now, I wish I could go back there. To whatever it is.. It was. I wish I knew what was so alluring about it. So, I would know why I am being drawn back to it. It's surely not a lack of sleep, because I am getting far more then what I normally do. I know, I am having a more active subconscious then I am accustomed to. Waking up panting, not knowing where I am, what day it is.. or unable to focus for what seems like an eternity. Yet, it's only a matter of minutes. Heart pounding as I awake, all those things.. I know my dreams have been intense. I have endure more in there, then I have awake.

So, maybe that's it.
Perhaps, I go back to possibly fight off.. or experience as much as I can. Those "Good Dreams" could lure me back in to comfort. The "Bad Dreams" could give me a false sense of accomplishment.

Either way..
The days out here, are boring.
I'll take my chances......

Time to Keep my Distance.


All I can do now, to keep myself safe.. and keep you all at bay.
Is continue to back up, and push you away.
More and more, I just see the clay chipping away. One mask..
One day..
Many faces, fade away.
Now, I am staring at something I never thought I'd see.
Was I too blind, caught in myself? To notice, this happening?

I feel okay about this, though.
When I stand before myself in the mirror, there is something looking back.
Me.
After all this time, when you look in the mirror. After your faces have fallen, masks peeled back and we are left with this mess.

What do you see, looking back when you open your eyes?
