Reverie

Thoughts entangled, mind unfocused,
Drifting far from this earthly plane
I can't control this mental gravity

Pulling me towards a daydream.

It allures, ever whispering
Showing possible futures,
Drawing my eager attention,

From the mediocrity of life.

My brain warns I should know better
Than to let myself be distracted,
that hope is a clever deception,

And despair is a certainty.

But how can I hear those words when
I'm a million miles away
Lost in the chasm of my mind

Thinking about a daydream.
