The discordance of our music jars my thoughts. I am unable to focus
on my day, on my plans, on my dreams. So untypical for a overachiever to
watch the world go by, and do nothing. The discord starts from the first note
and rings like sirens screaming like emergency bells. The noise doesn’t stop as it
goes on and on and on. Even when you talk, the sirens are ringing behind your voice
like a false prophecy, untrue promises, unresolved pain.
The resonance starts when I fantasise about a dreamscape where everything goes according to
my plans. For such a control freak I am, no stone is left upturned.
There are devas, fairies, unicorns and rainbows. There are knights and thousands of minions
at my disposal for my every whim. There is nothing I couldn’t have, as the world is below my feet.
The difference between my two worlds is such a rift that they cannot be reconciled.
It’s a choice of two paths of endless pain or endless happiness.
They are on extremes and cannot meet in the middle.
For this, I had given up on life and I had chose to live in my fantasy.
It keeps me alive to know I can change my thoughts, and slowly, I will change the world around me.
Before that day, I will continue being in the other world.
