Wake... Drifting through painful thoughts As you stare up at the ceiling The swirling cortex of your mind Pulling itself through your skull Falling into a chasm of infinite depth With infinite extent Fall on into the darkness Of sleep with open eyes Wake... Chained to the ground Where a thousand eyes glare down from above Dissolving into a maelstrom of fractal patterns That burn inside the eye Burning like the surface of the sun A star casting off its gaseous shell Collapsing into a vortex of entoptic nightmare singularity Sitting down you faced a mirror Stared deep inside your shadow as it looked into your eyes Saw your nightmares painted real Watched it turn to leave you there Your reflection empty Just like your world The mirror's glass and frame cracked and melted away Dripping to the ground it collected into a mirrored pool Of viscous liquid that pulled you in Sinking, drowned in your own reflection
