Mad World

Day 2,739, 09:01 • Published in USA Ireland • by HarliQuinn

Jump into the rabbit hole. Follow it down and down. SO much excitement. SO full of wonder. So full of promise. Endless possibilities. Alluring strangers. They look interesting...but when you zoom in, you see nothing but costume jewelry and poorly applied make up. Just a bunch of shiny distractions. Nothing special about these people at all. Just a bunch of empty shells. Waiting to drain the life from you. Nothing special about this place. Smoke screen and mirrors. The great big lie that is life. You pound on the walls, trying to find a secret passage to your paradise. There isn't one. No secret levers or switches can save you. Your only hope is to find a companion just as lost as you, and get through it together. Avoid the cheap plastic lights. Dodge the bums in clown make up.


I am happy I found a companion. It took me 3 years to realize I love him. Though we are miles and miles apart, he is my comfort in this haze. He is my sunlight that starts my day, and the moon that sings me to sleep. He stole my heart. I never had a chance to give it to him. And that is ok. He always puts a smile on my face, even when I don't want one. He can bring out the best in me, and the worst. But loves me the same in spite of it..I hope...
