Eyes Closed. The World In View

When I close my eyes, I see a world of people, swimming like a school of fish. Moving with the ebb and flow of the currents, constantly changing course to avoid being consumed. When a predator comes, most avoid it, but at least one is bitten and another dead. People strive so hard in this world of reality shows, Disney movies and empty love stories. The vision of love and life is so blurry, like fish looking up from below. But when you take that chance, exposing yourself to the surface and look down, the waters become transparent and truths are revealed. I see inner struggles even within a mirror. I see people running, not in a race but from someone who resembles them in every way. I see tears that fill the wrinkles on an old and weathered face. I see a love like E.T. that burns through chest. I see natural beauty that is pushed aside for vanity and material things. I see people sitting back and wasting away, hating themselves for what they have done only to repeat it over and over. I see dreams within dreams. Riddles within a word. 

I really don't know where I was going with this. I wrote most of it last night and lost the mojo today. Damn you mojo.
