My Perfect World

I close my eyes just to open them again I find myself in a place I've never been Every thing is perfect, the sky is always blue Outside is nice and warm to No one has to work because no one needs money Every ones life is exactly how they want it Everything is always peaceful No guns, no fights, no robbers,no knives Kids play freely without a care No one ever hurts or feels pain from despair Every one is kind and gets what they need and Don't have to go to the government and plea No one goes hungry, or homeless No one gets made fun of Every one is free, free as a dove I lie down in the grass and I close my eyes Just to open them to find myself in my bed Its back to reality, where nothing is just right My perfect little world has up and gone good bye But at least I know I can go back anytime when I close my eyes Back to the real world where sex and drugs support thugs Child's thoughts of suicide from taking all the drugs Doctors, school, and parents think it prevents them from the chokes Guns and knives, robbers and pointless fights Problems at home, relationships gone bad People struggle just to eat Coming home late just to complain about their feet I work so hard not to get far I try to get up to where I want to be Something always pulls me back Feels like I am always being attacked When I close my eyes it takes me back To my perfect world where I want to be
