Something Better

I dreamt in bright colors for most of my life My dreams have changed after becoming your wife No longer a sweet dream can I share with you Only a nightmare I am sure will come true I see you standing just over my shoulder In my dream my body gets colder No where to run and no where to hide Here in this dream I’m sure that I died Can’t tell your mother she calls me a fool Not a single friend since graduating from school So where can I turn or who should I tell? That each day of my life is an unbearable hell I long for some peace a simple way out Will that day ever come this I really doubt Escape sounds so easy leave and never look back Having the courage to do it is what I lack One day I will gather the strength that I need But for now I know I have children to feed So I’ll smile and wait for the day I can break free Knowing there is something better out there for me
