Puzzle
I wish everything didn't look the same to me.
Movies, music, television, and so much more.
I can hardly tell a difference in any medium.
I wish I knew how to spot the difference better.
I see so many vivid descriptions
About things that seem ordinary to me.
I cannot understand how and why they are
What people say they are.
I am supposed to attach to so much
But I sometimes get uncomfortable
Especially with things I am supposed
To be easily comfortable with.
Still I am moved by so much
Whether it is by inspiring groundbreakers
Or little acts of kindness.
My apathy is intense like the sun.
It has cost me bare necessities
Like company and income.
I know how to avoid it
But it somehow attaches to me
And bogs me down
And I might know why.
Because I am consumed by impossible fantasies
All of which give me everything I ever wanted
With some originating in a time
That I couldn't possibly imagine
And I relish in the impossible.
But these dreams are fake
And like all dreams, they must end.
The world offers so much promise for me.
I must go out and take it for myself.
But to do that, I must put together my own life
Scattered into so many puzzle pieces like my brain.
But I'm a sucker for a good puzzle.
