_EZ

You’ve been
Here before it’s
Nothing you’ve never seen but
Somehow
It’s still different now.

It sounds
Weird - more hollow
Just one speaker
Playing music
The other’s
Dead and silent.

All so
Distant and yet
As you’re fading in and
Out it
Snaps you back to life.

Open
Your eyes the wider
You’ll see
Nothing that you
Thought that you would
See.

Keep on
Reading your book
The other
World will just look
More real than this
Life you’re living
Now.

Do things
Work the way you think or
Do they all know
Something
You’ll never figure out?

the line breaks kinda messed with how i read the poem, so because of that i though the flow was off. but i'd rather blame how i read it.
subject-matter wise, i liked it.

not your fault; looking back on it i should've broken up the lines more. but it's supposed to sound disjointed anyways.
