Imitation Of Life Poem by Vincent Topp

This world is my playground, mine
I lockdown the borders, I push the island away from the mainland
Detached myself through choice from this fiction called life
The only realities I acknowledge now are at the end of my own fantasies
I create my own big bang
I the creator of my own utopia
I alone and with an unpoisoned mind
My thoughts were always interrupted in the other place
I tried to blend in but it was too high a compromise
My chime didn’t fit with the mundane drone
It to me is a grotesque imitation of life.
