I feel that i am dreaming
Even when I am awake.
This scheming life I’m leading
Seems so meaningless and fake
I wake with an unconscious scream,
I feel that I am falling
And as I sleep my life away
The Universe is calling.
I cannot bear to listen,
Though i cannot help but hear.
It’s easy living day by day
And older year by year.
But if i stopped to listen
Oh the pain would be appalling!
And as i fight to block my ears
The Universe keeps calling.
I feel that i am dreaming
Even when I am awake.
This scheming life I’m leading
Seems so meaningless and fake.
I long to wake and heed the call,
To cease my useless stalling,
And be the voice that tells the world
The Universe is calling.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
