did all your dreams banish you from reality?
did they create a new world of virtual insanity?
did they take away your pride, your dignity?
did they erase what you are, your personality?
are you aware of your self, your mind, your body?
you say you're better but why do you lie to me?
you deny the pain even though the tears are shedding
you deny the light of day, even though the rays of the sun are shining
is it true, are you lost in your world?
is it true, are you lost in your mind?
is it you, why are you being absurd?
is it you, your words are undefined
you woke up not knowing whats right from wrong
you woke up in the pain of affliction
you're going insane, unaware of the reason
where are you heading? you remain in treason
why is it that you can't understand?
those images that you form in your head?
why do you hide from them?
you deny what you yourself imagined?
subconsciousness never sleeps
oblivion in reality, misunderstood in your dreams
the secrets it holds, it never keeps
the scathe it forms and conceives
what world do you live in now?
what world do you live in today?
the clarity of the truth's in doubt
you're neither in a dream nor reality
you're in virtual insanity...

I really like how the whole poem fits together, sometimes it lost the flow a little bit but for the most part I really liked reading it. I especially like the first and last stanzas. Thanks for entering.
