At no peace

This feels fake. The joy and the laughters. I’m afraid i’m dreaming and afraid I’ll wake up. I’m so comfortable in this bliss, this place where I don’t belong. Where I’m happy but sad because nothing ever lasts and no matter how right it might seem, it’s starting to feel like a myth and- huh! HERE. I GO. AGAIN. Here I go again inside that hole that is so dark and cold, where my insecurities linger on my happiness and paints it into my weakness. I get way too comfortable and as soon as I crack, it cracks me up and shuts me down, “HUSH! You shall fall and make no sound.” DOWN. I. GO. Down I go in that hole I dug where I crumble myself and call out for peace, “oh my dear Peace, I wish I could rest in you.” With no response i implore with fainting voice: “Oh my dear Peace, hear me cry and try to understand that the best of me comes out when I can’t see what’s happening around me. When my eyes are shut and I can fly to a world that is not quite mine. Because, home doesn’t want me no more no less than I want myself.” And from that I hear the voice of he who came to collect my soul: “Here’s a pretty tricky deal my old friend.” I sit in silence as I hear my fate. “I will count the sheep and you will hold your breath. 1 2 3 and… there there there” With my last bit of hope, I hope that it will be the last time we meet.
