Fooling Myself
A thousand needles
with sharp shining points
cutting harshly in
tender soft flesh
burning hot needles
searing as they go
piercing deeper in
with every painful step
ripping caring agony
muscles ripping apart
in agony collapsing
on ground so very hard
weakly grasping lifting
strength and vigor gone
lifting climbing upward
unsteady standing barely
burning hot pain searing
piercing through tender joints
gasping sharp inhaling
bright shining tears appear
foolish belief blooming
desperate hope within
somehow just imagining
none is actually real
Insane self deceiving
imagined feelings are
unknown reasons fulfilling
unreal everything is
