Delusions

Everyone’s in rags.

Everyone I know at least.

I’m in proper clothes.

A decent shirt.

For once.

Everyone’s in chains.

Everyone I thought I knew.

Except for me.

I’m loose.

I’m free.

Everyone’s a wolf.

Creeping in the shadows.

I’m a lowly sheep.

Pawing at the dirt.

Everyone’s so boring.

Stuck inside little loops.

Repeating and repeating.

I’m a dreamer.

But I’m sinking and sinking.

Everyone’s a critic,

Mother always said.

Everyone’s so childish.

Playing games inside their head.

Everyone’s so damaged,

But they pretend not to be.

Everyone pretends.

Everyone except for me.
