It feels real.
It feels like you are drifting away from the conscious world of reality
and going into a stranger place of your mind.
It changes you.
It makes you feel like you're the most vulnerable person on the earth.
This place is scary.
Every person you meet
every person you talk
every person you feel;
Everything is real... yet they’re not.
You lose your sight,
which makes you incapable to differentiate between what's real and the figment of your imagination.
This place is scary.
When you are in that episode…
You feel this immense fear
like your heartbeat is felt in each organ, each limb
And even if you got them earpods on,
you could still hear it.
It's like you... are having a heart attack,
but you're not dying.
You panic for your life every minute, every second, even the millisecond of the episode.
And this place is a scary one.
You die sometimes... in your episode.
But you wake up after it ends.
You remember how you die.
But you don't know if it was a dream, an episode, or what.
You remember the face of the person
but don't know who he was.
Well, in my case. Its shadow. Shadow of my own.
Escaping each time. Killing and butchering each time.
This place is scary.
You dissociate from your family, from your friends,
and every living person in this world.
You stop talking to them, meeting them.
Heck, you even stop seeing them.
It's not because you don't want to,
but because you don't know whether they're real or your dreamy characters.
And you end up being all alone.
What's left is you and your imaginative world,
which is a scary place.
This place… is a scary one.

Thank you... :')
What a cool poem! It seems to be about gaming/virtual reality. Again, very cool.
Thank you...
But it was regarding a schizophrenic episode I had a few days back. And I have been dealing with schizo-affective for quite some time. It really messes up yk.. with everything and every task.
gaming? what made you think that? I´m curious and that's hilarious
A very unique and eye opening poem!
Thank you...
