My Dear Reality

A personification of my runaway train

The hallway was dark,
Empty and silent except for the
water droplets from the ceiling crack.

And I was alone.
Walking by myself,
lost in thought,
lost in my silly daydreams.
But a sudden
screeching noise,
of metal scraping against metal,
resonated within
almost deafening
my unprepared ears.
A dragging sound
of footsteps neared.
Fear crept,
my body vibrated,
my heartbeat quickened.

I was about
to run away,
like how I always do,
but I saw her.
Walking towards me,
wearing ragged clothes
and in her hand
was a shiny knife where
I could see my reflection.

I tried to escape,
but surely I'm not sane
for thinking like that

Wherever I went...
left... right...
she followed me...

No...

All along
I wasn't running away....
from her...
I was running around...
within her...
The reality I couldn't accept.

Reality, Reality,
her name rolled
off my tongue.

She is not as beautiful
as we all think.
But,
Flawed and Scarred

And dangerous,
much more dangerous
...
than we all think.

This just popped up from my head. My head is a microwave full of popcorns.

This one struck a chord with me. That mistress we would all love to cheat our way away from, that losing battle we can't help but fight. But still without a doubt you'll be ripped back to it eventually, and as violently as the slash of a blade. Just a great symposium on reality, you get a thumbs up from me for that popcorn!

This is so beautifully written.. we all try to escape reality but someday we have to face the truth.. reality cannot be escaped. .
You have managed to pen down this poem like a story. .
