I've been involved into mendacity,
In constant escapism from reality,
I've fallen into the abyss of a void,
This pitfall I could not avoid,
I had pictured a new earth,
On which we'd give birth,
To those who'd bring mirth,
And never endure any dearth,
I had dreamt of a Utopia,
Where we'd be in euphoria,
In this dream I trusted,
Until hopes have dusted,
I had fallen in despair,
At my visionary castle in the air,
Until came a new notion,
That induced my imagination,
Mental mastery I did attain,
Like a free rein in the brain,
Where speculation was power,
To create what I desire,
My fancies none could arrest,
In my mind I was the best,
I was lost in an illusive maze,
Until it became a craze,
I lost the track of time,
Thought I was at life's prime,
What I always really wished,
In my mind could be cherished,
But I couldn't live for long,
In the world I did belong,
For a slow realization crept,
That I ultimately had to accept,
That I was living in ignorance,
Unconscious to facts of existence,
Dependant on an absurd trance,
That bore no significance,
Then did I come back to life,
I was engaged in another strife,
One which I cannot understand,
One which never seems to end.
