World Upside Down

The day my life went bonkers was a true test, seeing myself in an unfathomable petri-dish. Small doses of medicines being administered to me from the stars, like shaking salt on a bowl of ox-tail soup. Before I thought I was seasoned enough, but I was wrong; dead wrong. My life has to be palatable in the minds of future folks who read my life story. Living in illusion isn’t easy – that’s actually sticking into a bubble called a fantasy. You see, the problem is that my bubble burst, the ripple effects sending shivers through my spine. I felt vulnerable in a world I thought I knew enough to survive and manipulate. Weird how tiny things like viruses can turn the world into an Independence Day movie kind of shake up…..
