Requiem For A Dream

In the quietness of the night, I enter psychological breakdown. It all started earlier when I attempted to clearly define my dream*. Then the questions appeared.

Time just passes. Tick. Tick. Tick.

{**} I am becoming deluded. Paranoid.

There's no time to hit the pause button. It is a constant go. A whirlwind rush. Playing with the mind can be more dangerous than playing with the body.

Don't feel. Don't think. I think but it's not me. It's me in this system.

Do I feel sad? No. Do I feel happy? No.

I am content. But it hides trouble.

I hold my head in my hands. Finally some reprieve.

It has been forever since I had a break. Yoga provides temporary respite.

I have let myself down. Partly because of the issues stemming from (It Wasn't Meant To Be Like This (2)), partly from the time and effort I have pored into the business and work.

But it is not my dream.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. Pent up despair. I know I can't keep doing this to myself. But I do. Where I slowly self-destruct. Short term craving***. Long term aching.

What happened to morality? To having a clear head? Seductively clear, but not clear.

To my dream?

Striving. Striving. But what am I working towards? What is my dream life? What can I do now to live it [slash] work towards it?

Lyrics play. I need you to rescue me from my destiny. Interlude. Life is what we make of it.

* I have to live my dream everyday - there is no other way to live.
** time shift to years
*** for money
