Escape From Reality 2
ESCAPE FROM REALITY (2)
I enjoyed my solitude
I engaged my loneliness
I sent my mind on an errand
I breathed ... though heavily
I sighed through my nostril
Again, I summoned courage
Wanting to restore my shattered dreams
I hoped all my life ... all the time
Even I hoped against hope itself
Hoping it will hold still for me a modicum of hope
Escaping once again through the wings of wind
I concealed my lines of depression
I am almost sure no one saw it
No one saw those red eye balls of mine
I am almost sure I was dreaming
How do I wake up from my fantasy
A clarion call into the world of reality
I can no longer escape from it
Time to face the fear that comes with my reality
