Body and Soul

A red haze covers the tips of my mind

“Why is it so persistent in staying there?” I ask.

As it shrouds my thoughts, I do not fret

Because I know there is much greatness ahead.

Even with it there, lingering in the front of my thoughts, I do not feel blind

Seeming to be something familiar, I begin to unmask

But now I know, it was something I tried to forget

And now, it is something I reminisce on every night before bed.

With a great distance in body and soul, I still feel nothing but intertwined

Feeling peace as this thought shines down on me, while I bask

I am in another world, in the reality I crave, nothing could break me out of this, just yet

God, I might as well be half dead.
