Being neither here not there

She does not quite comprehend
Let alone fully understand

So she seems to perform
Live duties and things
Performing as she should
Though she knows
And feels although she
Cannot explain

Thus

How surreal life can be
In actuality

Through her days
On a autopilot
She does perform
As she must
And on which she fully Trusts
Strangely this Trust
Intrinsically part of her being
this Trust her lifeforce
Forcing her to be

As forever she is residing
In this half semi state
Not fully awake

The early morning is cold
As I get layered by its slates of grey
Heavily resting its unwelcoming stance
Its glaringly hard glimmer
Of yet another alienated day
Not looking at this morning world
Through my own eyes
Yet still comfortably numb
Alas also a slowly fading state
As I realise
As I feel
As slowly step by step
Awareness seeps back in…

Quite simply
It always takes time
Hard work and pure will of mind
For me to get back
From wherever I have been
When I do return
It seems
Only half and
Some days I don’t
Then I must perform
My daily routine
Within this crazy
Surrealism state
Whether by Choice
Whether by Fate?
And so off I go
Into the surreal morning
To experience the surreal day
Perform the duties
Act out the play
Within my own weird surreal way

But she rather thinks
The surreal of her feel
Is actually more real
than any ordained real
that she cannot feel
The weird is the norm
On which she can perform

Who the hell anyway
Had the notion to go and define
What reality is composed of
and even more precisely
which is mine?

As she graces the slumber of time
The continuum of space
It rather is she believes, no ones place
To tell her how reality is made up
And who anyway can define
Realities bends and curves
Of the surreal world
That is the norm of mine.
As in fact the strangeness
of surreal to my mind
Is by far more the norm
Than any real
as defined
by anyone

anytime.
