Compressed,compacted
My sense of myself has become refracted
Seen as if through a kaleidoscope
It\'s as long and as short as a piece of rope
Dilated, diluted
Mixed-up and polluted
My understanding is convoluted
The grip I once had on reality
Reads like a Shakespearian tragedy
Eluded, evaded
Discoloured and shaded
My every ambition has been downgraded
What were my dreams are now my fears
And nothing is quite as it appears
