A different world!

 August has been the month of celebrations!

Quite literally, a new festival to celebrate,

And sometimes,

Even in these beautiful times,

Where my house is filled with a dozen of family members and friends,

In these times of celebrations,

A different world,

Resides inside of me that,

Constantly craves for my attention


It is usually said,

When you're around people,

You feel quite protected,

Well, It's at least you're safe space (so to say),

Alot of things make you feel "complete",

Will help you forget about how lonely you are,

Just until again,

A different world,

Residing inside of me that,

Constantly craves for my attention


Trust me it gets tougher,

When "other people" know of this different world,

The one that's constantly helping you to think,

The one that's constantly forcing you to act,

The one that's forcing you to make progress,

Despite at regular intervals,

Reminding you,

Craving you to pay attention to,

Let's get straight to it,

To the one thing that you've constantly been avoiding


I'm talking about a traumatic incident,

Something that haunts you,

Makes you feel alone in a room full of people,

Makes you cross question,

Even the most simplest of decisions,

Gives you goosebumps,

Gives you that chill down your spine,

Forces you into a panic attack of sorts,

Well, whatever it is that bothers you,

Make sure that you attend to it,

That different world inside of you,

That constantly craves your attention actually needs most of it
