Won’t you take me to, FUNKY TOWN!

I’m here now, in the funk. Would rather not be and yet it is so.

It is also a destination of my own making. Fantasy is so alluring - an escape from the realities and harshness of life. It’s nice to stay there a while. Or sometimes, a long while. But when you hurt other people, that’s just irresponsible. I was irresponsible. :(

I know there are varying opinions about responsibilty, choice, free will, etc. I get that. I also get that I am responsible for the choices I make and have made.

It’s nice living in fantasy.
As escape.
Where people, things, and places
Get to be how and what you want them.
The construct of my mind
Makes and interprets
Things how and when I want to see them
It allows a disconnect
And a detachment
From the weariness of life
and the weight of responsibility
To be free
And floating
And unfettered
Feeling the feelings
and dancing with delight
in the space of the shackleless sunrises
and sunsets
the good mornings beautiful
and good nights, my friend.

I am so sorry.
