feedback would be appreciated! this is a vent poem for my fandom depression so it gets a bit ranty.
fiction
it's sad how i'll never meet the people who saved my life
when i felt so low, they were there to help me through my strife
fiction is like a drug that we use to self medicate
until it's not enough to satiate
we drown reality out with that high we get
and it's so darn addictive that we can't help it
the people who don't exist become our best friends
from where our new happiness now stems
my head's not up in the clouds, it's galaxies away
and i hope that's where i shall forever stay
we seek more and more but we're never satisfied
so we turn to other sources to get that same high
because our lives are so cold and scary and boring
but in another universe it's warm and familiar and exciting
we know too well that we would die in that other place
but we'd give anything to let their problems be ours to face
because reality's so cruel to us that we'd rather leave
for a place that we know is meant to deceive
to fight against aliens rather than battle our anxieties
because we know we cannot handle the ideals of our societies
so we drown ourselves in the things that aren't real
it's so beautiful, so wonderful, so surreal
fiction is a double edged sword designed to make us bleed
yet there are still fantasy books we continue to read
we watch those shows and movies and we let ourselves drown
because this is a high from which we don't ever want to come down
it may be too good to be true
but it's my only hope
fiction's the rope from which i dangle
and my noose from which i hang
once again, please give feedback! i have a poetry slam coming up and i need to know if this is presentable bc this is better than most things i've done in a while, which is nothing! yay for writers block!
mods, pls let through. also if you're worried, i'm fine, i just feel like these words help me convey the feeling of what i'm feeling

love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside
i have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night
