Visions vs. Illusions

[chrstnafd]

visions were blurry
cause by delusional mind
all are to worry
but doesn't seem to mind

aiming high
illusions flew
insecurities strike
inner bleed

keep on repeating
same fake acting
still immaturely pretending
thoughts seems no ending

in love, we're thirsty
words were dirty
in life, where full of shitty
actions were depravity

blinded by wants
demanding too much
was never satisfied
never been contented

[DATo]

Very interesting subject. I think we have all questioned our illusions at some point in our lives.

Your poem reminds me very much of the song below.

Both Sides Now

Joni Mitchell

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferries wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
