Do you know what it feels like, to be me?
To be insecure and proud at the same time?
To be clear and confused together?
Do you know how it feels,
To be under the spell of words and imagery?
To escape into a world far-reaching, distant and mysterious ,
where all your worries go away?
In such a world where all that is banal,
and all that is mundane ceases to exist?
Do you know the pleasure and pain of living someone else’s life,
while living your own at the same time?
The grief and happiness that collide over and over again,
in a furious gushing tide?
Do you know what it feels like to be an escapist,
looking for the silver line?
