"A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am living in a serene distraction.
I am swiftly dodging reality.
Reality deceives me at times.
It intrudes onto my path.
I hit it, head on.
It encompasses me.
It carries me.
I begin to feel it.
I feel it rushing through my veins.
I feel it pumping into my heart.
I feel it, like lead.
I feel it weighing me down.
It projects images in my mind.
I see past the surface.
It takes me down into the depths.
I see truth.
I feel it weighing me down.
It clouds my eyes.
It fills up my stomach.
My lead-filled heart sinks to the floor.
My lead-filled stomach sinks to the floor.
My lead-filled mind sinks to the floor.
All in conjunction with my limbs.
They all rest on the floor.
For, reality has brought them down.
I have never felt so low.
