Escape One

Red skies loom above my bed, hurried voices in my head, the walls lean in to sneak a listen, all the smaller grows my prison. Dark shadows ripple gray and shifting, passing by like ghost ships drifting, My heart is sinking in my chest, into lost and unknown depths. Ages pass in moments black, rumble off and thunder back, In the pit of my despair, not yet gone, not quite all there.

Then... the hallucinogens kick in, I make new friends, the day begins

I see trees and people, turquoise and purple, dogs and cats, dark blue and black, fish and birds biting worms, evenly dividing thirds. I look at the ceiling or the sky, a swirling sea passing by, I stare for a while to see what I wanna, I see fractal filled nirvana. I'm wasting my time, thus sayeth my mind, I find my pants in a trance, let the colors flow and dance.
