When Your Mind Creates an Illusion

What happens when you close your eyes?

What do you see?

Do you see an old memory?

The smiles of the people you love,

The happiness in their features,

The feel of old friends and family?

Do you see the person you love?

The familiarity of their features,

The sparkle in their eyes,

Hear the sound of their laugh,

Feel the touch of their skin?

Do you see the future?

Accomplishing your dreams,

Finding your happiness,

Walking on your path,

Experiencing your life?

Or is it something more sinister?

Blood on your hands, 

Tears on your face, 

Someone who will never come back,

Or the memories that haunt your dreams?

Or do you just see black?

Because you know,

It's all just black.
