I tire of seeing what I desire taunt me just out of reach.
Many a number of dreams while I slumber push me into the breach.
Feelings of dread from the thoughts in my head, unable to send them aloft.
My mind it wanes from internal pains and visions I cannot throw off.
Inwards I spiral towards total denial of emotions that seem to propel.
So slow I do creep, the pain it runs deep, traveling towards unending hell.
Exhausted I lay, my head in dismay, begging for it to all end.
When will I know?
Time, it runs slow, can someone just be a friend?

don't hope too high, daydreamer
all good things
are too good
to be true
All disappointment
is too painful
to be a lie
and what's desired
by one
is far from another's mind
so dreams go
unfufilled
and will never exist
as reality.

Take me where the sun shines so bright
The shadows are gone
But the light doesn't burn
Take me where the breeze is speckled with laughter
But not one chuckle is pretence
Take me where I can run without being chased,
Fly without falling
And sing without crying.
Take me.
Please.
It's Grey here.

My body
Is failing me
It's hard to stay awake
Hard for me to breathe
Most of all
It's hard for me to sleep

Part of me
Wants to remember
What it's like to dream
So I sleep my life away
In wait
For the images to start to play
And dance inside my head
So realistic
That it won't make sense
If this is a dream
Or reality

I want to escape
From the things I face
From day to day
By resting in my bed
Warm
Soft
Comfort

I want to get lost
Inside my head
In a distant universe
Parallel to the life I lead
Something quite opposite
Of this routine

— The End —
