Shattered Illusions

I dream of many things, none of this reality Fantasy is the life force that sustains me To live as I want, however I choose To change myself at will be someone new Exciting, sexy, dangerous,hot love and adventure That is not reality and I know it, yet still I live in dreams Sad hopeless illusions, can't grasp with hands They slip through like sand in a sieve When I wake I cry Cry for things that don't exist Cry for the reality that is me, my life Why must life shatter all illusions of fantasy.
