Pay Attention!
Oh, the actualization
of hallucination!
Hear me now, you dare induce me,
of your poison I want to be free!
You had the gall to envenom my mind recently,
and the hell I descended, the things I would see!
This experience made me lose sight of reality,
I saw all before me what no other could see!
A utopia!
Surrealism-stuffed cornucopia!
Then the voice of normalcy,
a normal stranger staring at me
wide-eyed, perplexed,
“next!”
I was suddenly standing in the store!
Of this curse I want no more!
of hallucination!
Hear me now, you dare induce me,
of your poison I want to be free!
You had the gall to envenom my mind recently,
and the hell I descended, the things I would see!
This experience made me lose sight of reality,
I saw all before me what no other could see!
A utopia!
Surrealism-stuffed cornucopia!
Then the voice of normalcy,
a normal stranger staring at me
wide-eyed, perplexed,
“next!”
I was suddenly standing in the store!
Of this curse I want no more!

Author's Note
My submission for the competition, Everyday Moment. I chose the prompt when you realize you're not paying attention. I can relate to this quite well, as many DUP members would be aware from reading my writings that I am a diagnosed schizophrenic. And this piece is about how inattentive I can be when suffering from a visual/auditory hallucination. Check out my website:

I happen to like your style of writing. This piece is written very well. I had to look up 'envenom'. Thank you for sharing :)
