I dread changes the most,
When my life took a 180-degree turn,
I couldn't face it,
I, who always had a problem facing reality.
But found the easiest way to cope,
To not overthink, to ignore and to turn numb,
For ignorance is bliss to humankind.
Because if I think,
Then I'll realize all the things that I'm not happy about,
And that won't be easy to digest.
Henceforth, there I grew a strong, unbreakable wall around myself,
Like the crab's carapace,
To escape from realities.
If I don't hold onto the wall tighter and keep it intact,
Unbearable complication and worries come creeping to me,
I will never want to face the bitter reality,
If I had the choice to stay in sweet delusional dreams.
Oh, how I wish I could turn time!

- Comment from author about the poem: I thought I was used to it. But when I was lying down yesterday and closed my eyes just to concentrate to hear the sounds around me -- the sound of the birds, people in the house talking, moving around, sleeping, laughing -- all that which was normal, shocked me. As I realized how MUCH have changed. And I hate that the most. I couldn't not cry, I did. Because I want to go back in time, when everything was so easy and carefree, not so complicated and I didn't have to worry a thing about future. I wish things get better, with all my heart.

Perhaps "sweet delusional dreams" are a respite from reality, when needed most. I can certainly feel the emotion, the anxiety you express so well in this poem, and you are not alone, for in this day and age it is all too real. Such a powerul write my friend!
Yes, and thank you.
Emotional and heartfelt
I think we all try to build a protective barrier
Unfortunately it can isolate us
Reminds me of pink floyd's "the wall "
If you get time
Watch the film or listen to the album
It's all about tearing it down
Enjoyed reading
I will, and thank you.
"Because if I think,
Then I'll realize all the things that I'm not happy about,
And that won't be easy to digest." I can't believe how much I related to this poem. You are not alone. You expressed it all so beautifully.
Glad to know that. Thank you.
