Another glimpse at a twisting mind ....is it poetic or just a facet?

Question: Another glimpse at a twisting mind !.!.!.!.is it poetic or just a facet!?

Freeze frame
The world has stopped
just long enough for me
to step off the stage
and into the dark
behind the heavy curtains
to lick my wounds
and bandage my pride
in seclusion!.

I must draw the conclusion
this is surely an intrusion
not an illusion
when I'm in confusion
nor a delusion
but a demon to be fought
Diligently
I do see

I have the scars as well as the wounded pride!.
Ha ha, We must laugh in ore of ourselves!.
For what ever we may think, we are winning, We
Are still here and have our humour!.

I love it, very thought provoking!. Does it mean that you're confirming what reality is, or what is beyond this life!? Or that the confusion is a "demon to be fought" a hindrance to finding peace and understanding!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Poetic! I always hesitate before I make suggestions!.!.!.uh, how about taking out 'freeze frame', and starting the second stanza with 'the world has stopped'!.!.!.repetition is not a bad thing, when it adds to the poem's tension!. Good onyer!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
