Realization

Drunken delirium,
Fog of alcoholic fumes,
A clearing, I see.
And in it, the stark truth.

Can it be so?
The truth so cruel.
A hammer on my head,
An electric shock running up my spine.
But the truth it is,
And it is here to stay.
Accept it.
Bow down,
For it is god the of rationality,
The grip for your sanity.

Will I run from it?
Will I cower?
Can I watch myself bleed?
Can you?
Ahahahaha, how does it feel to see the bubble burst?
To see a cliched phrase come to life?

Suckered in by words,
Random sounds?
How fickle is reality?
How tempting a pleasing lie.
Sigh.
Now, I know.
Now, I do.
Well, fuck it.
Let the truth sleep,
Let it be,
Let it lie,
Till the time it needs to feed.
Now is the time for lies,
For now is the time to live.
