Detached

We walk
with our heads
pointed down
Our faces
lit up
with nonsense
We ignore
all the realness
and soak up
all the fake
Our dreams
become
laughter
While our fears
become
our comfort
Afraid we'll
shatter
if we move

    I like the faces lit up with nonsense! And that "our dreams become laughter". Cool.

    This is a bit chilling...thinking about our fears becoming our comfort. I hope this can be avoided.

      Thank you. It is easy to let yourself become absorbed. We just need to remember to take a look around and soak up the beauty of the world! Good to see you, Sumana :)
