Hiding In Plain Sight

I hide away in plain sight, Deep in the daydreams of my mind. Delusions and dreams that make me feel, Content, peaceful as if they are real. Reality however, always brings me back in the end, To hopeless and emptiness, a never-ending trend. I hide away in plain sight, Deep in the daydreams of my mind. Wishing, praying to get lost in the fold, To stay here, pretend, to never lose that hold. But life is my own personal demon I can't escape, No matter how I try sadness is my only fate. I hide away in plain sight, Deep in the daydreams of my mind. Until I wake up and realize its all unreal, Reality always wins and I will never heal. The parts of me that have cracked and broken, My life ensures I will live with them and they will never be stolen. I hide away in plain sight, Deep in the daydreams of my mind. Without it I would lose everything about me, What I wouldn't give to run off here and flee. But still I come crashing down, No matter what, my reality will always bear the crown. I hide away in plain sight, Deep in the daydreams of my mind. This is no longer my haven and place of peace, Riddled with nightmares, unimaginable grief. No longer is there a place to run and hide, The desire has burned away to even try.
