...

chemical warfare is a dangerous game.
the explosions are not bright; they’re dark.
and the more bombs ignite, the darker it gets.
leaving you sinking, sinking, sinking,
further away from what is real,
from what you know makes sense.
until you lose your sense of direction.
and reality feels like a memory.

just because it’s not real,
doesn’t mean it must be fake.
