All I Need

Sometimes I would like to go and disappear, Visit a world that is farther away, nowhere near. Where whatever I do will not be considered a sin, A place to know I am safe, a place that I will always win. With the knowledge I have and the books I read, My mind is filled with life, it's all I need. With a smile upon my face, it doesn't matter to me, I'll be gone for a little while, but I will be back, see? Stretching out a layer of feathered appendages, As I step out of reality, everything seems to freeze. Now, I can return to the place that I know the best, And I can leave for a while, leave the rest. One day, this whole world I know as reality may fall apart, But the world I know in my dreams, it remains in my heart. With that knowledge I have and the books I read, With a smile upon my face, it's all I need.
