Reality

Reality's not where I want to be
So I take myself into a fantasy
My life feels like a lie and a fake
Every night I pray to sleep and not to wake
I don't know how much more I can take
More people try to interfere, to muddle
All I want is to see my blood in a puddle
My life feels so astray
I honestly don't want to stay
It's so off-track, I just wish to go back.
To a time, To a place
Where I didn't hate to look at my face
Where the world seemed so fun and clouds never covered the sun
A tear falls down my face, as I dream of this wonder place
I realize that's all just my fantasy, and I'm thrown back into my dark reality.
