Maladaptive Daydreams

I unplug myself from reality;
Dissociate myself from everything.
Put my body on aeroplane mode
To go back to the daydreams and delusions
Just so I could feel something.
But when I return I always find everything shattered 
And so I try to pick everything up 
And get back on track
Only to find I've lost everything in me.
The bits and pieces I've tried to connect 
Were long gone before I knew.
Hallucinations, dreams and reality
Look all the same to me.
No longer able to tell them apart
I lose, once again, every sense of reality 
Just to be an empty vessel numbed with nothingness.
