A Dream

Lost in a world of affection Can’t seem to see anything around me Hurt inside because no one seems to care When I fall to my knees I find out what I did I ignored my friends…. I ignored my family…… Just because I wanted something even I knew wouldn’t last. Am I that stupid? To just leave the world behind, To leave my good life behind. Am I that retarded? To make my life a living hell I let the ones I love go…. I let the ones I trusted leave as I was dazed In a world a fantasy that I regret Tears down my face and then I figure that It’s just a dream I’ve been asleep And as I wake I knew that second….. What it meant….. DON’T LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND FOR SOMETHING THAT MAY NEVER LAST!

This rolls like a falling dream, regret propelling the decent. Self-imposed isolation can be a factor when finding a voice. I'm glad to read a catharsis beyond such notions! Warm regards, John.
