Confused Reality

Immobile intoxication
Conflicting realities
of mind and body
Pinpoint pupils lack focus
Body spinning
Stomach churning
An unending fairground ride
From my steady bed
I rest
Body immobile
Mind in motion
Peripheral vision
Swirls and blurs
Staring at the ceiling
Still lampshade
Spiralling, rocking
Motion, emotion
Confused reality
of body and mind
