Just A Fiction
/My entire sense of self
Is supplanted
By that one undefinable feeling
Of a nothingness with substance
A heavy emptiness
Filled
With a choking void
The screaming silence
Of a statue
Suffocating under glass
Even in the moment
When his hand
Struck my face
It didn’t feel real
Even in the moment
When she exposed herself
And approached me
It didn’t feel real
Nothing has ever felt real
Except the feeling of unreality
My entire life
Feels like a play
Just words in a book
Only real
When it’s read
And then quickly forgotten
The trauma downplayed
Because we both know
it’s just a fiction
Created for your entertainment
