STOCKHOLM

Snatched.

She was present yet so beyond herself.
She craved the alternate
whilst wishing for comfort
within the reality, she lay restless in.
Complex feelings overcame her
and whilst she yearned for escapism,
she also sought solace in Stockholm.

Symptoms of discontent
regained consciousness.
It rudely awakened her,
forcing her to shake off the syndrome she had caught
and reject the reality
they enforced on her,
so she could reinforce her own depiction of bliss and
latch on to any ounce of courage
she could capture that would allow her to
break out from the cage she was in.

She was no longer captive
but captivated by the idea of release
and motivated by the desire for true peace.
Pieces of the illusion began to concave and the truth came out
and like turning a jumper inside out, exposure prevailed.
The veil was removed so she saw Stockholm for what it was and
she vowed to never settle and only seek solace in the one above.
