Awoken

Could it be possible, 
all i see is an illusion? 
Notice all of the confusion.
Nonetheless lies and intrusion. 

I must fight them to live my own life.
I must stay sharp, like a steak knife. 
There very well may never be a physical bruise-
to what importance of standards would it mean;
to win or to lose. 

We are quick to demonize insanity,
however, uphold the usage of inanity;
when we know the similarity shared between us all,
is the want to be free- 
can we agree?

There is insanity in us all-
the capability to quickly rise and fall. 
I control the eyes of I,
to create my desired reality;
or at least try.
