Un.... Unreal or Unreality?

               
 The strange malady has struck…

summed up by comparisons
of day and night.

In dreams
we are anything
                       strange creatures wandering
                                      where the mind wishes
                                                   achieving diverse ambitions;
By day something -
ourselves perhaps -
stymies, confines, quashes.

I do not call it reality.

It is the un-reality,
a learned ‘other’ existence
fallibility bent
to extraneous
expectations
overriding determinations to put
oneself
first.

Is it conformity, a need
to be
 ‘good’, a frailty
of mind
that seeks negation
in an effort to be a false ideal,
self-sacrificial? 


Perhaps it's merely a dilatory nature…….
