sitting here without a thought in your mind
you can't avoid your responsibilities forever
but you would if you could, right?

escape into your inner most thoughts
past the cerebellum, through the frontal lobe
and hit that blind spot

are you dreaming?

is that you fading into the background?
no. but its a scary image
at this point you're barely breathing

who are you wonderful dreamer?
you don't belong here
GO AWAY!

what was that?

you look around but see nothing
is it all in your imagination?
whatever. just brush it off. keep on keeping on

all of a sudden you here something shatter
then the sound of broken glass
is someone coming?

this strange odor fills your nostrils
not quite sweet, not quite bitter
appealing yet repellent

FLASH!

you fall to the ground
confused and dazed you look up
and come face to face with...yourself

is it a mirror?
you raise your hand to it and you clasp hands
you're not terrified but what the hell?

the other you glows a malevolent color
its eyes shine a crimson red
you sense the malice its emitting

so begins the struggle!
where is that voice coming from?
it can't be from the other me...it didn't move

now you're scared.

RUN! save yourself you say
but you're frozen solid as if glue was holding you down
ESCAPE!

Your other self approaches
As it draws closer you writhe around
there's no way out

it's too late as your other self consumes you
avoid the pain
can you escape into your mind while in your mind...?

WAKE UP!!

you rise up dripped in your own sweat
looking around you seem bewildered
but you carry a most smug smile.

your head is pounding
is someone trying to get out?
you don't think so

it's YOUR turn to take a run at life...
