Deja Vu

Is time the greatest illusion 
           I’m not waiting around to see 
        Deja vu causes confusion 
           so many echos from eternity 

         My birth a mere occlusion 
             from a past life I broke free 
         Deja vu works in collusion 
             with most supreme entities 

         Previous cycles of allusion 
              came pouring back to me 
         Deja vu and mass delusion
              nervous breakdown maybe 

         Since my latest convolution 
             visions show where I must be 
         Inside a mental institution 
             a revelation No! you all agree

...and with no explanation, out of the blue, could it be a nudge at our brain, a specific pattern, a foggy notion waiting for exposure. I think deja vu is terrifying! Intriguing write, B0L!

A little bit off kilter, emotionally, can cause sputtering, and encodes an image twice in quick succession. According to one neurologist!

There goes the question Anaya, this one is not really suited for the contest, but I can only write my own opinions on Deja vu you’re right it can be quite an unsettling experience, and one could very easily end up in a sanatorium if it was to happen every day, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Think we've all experienced de ju vu moments David can't stand wearing a tie and With my keen interest in the old American west maybe I was hung as a desparado lol. Good luck in the contest, enjoy your week ahead. Tom

I hope you're not in a sanitarium. Fiction, I'm sure, but well written.
