What happens when you slice reality so thin it disappears?

I feel like I'm living in a fake world

trapped between glass

and overheating wires

while the actual world around me

just keeps spinning,

passing me by,

lapping me again and again.

Likes and Hearts and

Comments and Replies and

STORIES FOR DAYS

but no reality in sight..

I'm blind and blinded,

paralyzed from the options,

and none of them are even real.

Why?

How?

It's kind of irrelevant since

all I have is right now

in this square prison.

No doors or windows,

just a black mirror and

empty reflection.

I just need to figure out

how to get back on the outside.

    Sometimes there are just too many of other people’s stories overwhelming our ability to live our own. Sometimes I realize just how pulled I am by this little box and it worries me. Well done!
