Halls of the Dark Muse

My So Called Life

Tottering still with training
wheels on

So ineffectual at this thing
called life

A failure by all accounts
what have I accomplished?

Living too much inside
my head

I create my own worlds
because I cannot face this one

In places that do not exist
I can reign like a queen

But here in this space
called reality

Such a fish out of water
dysfunctional and pathetic

Nothing have I truly gotten right
so I escape again
