Sometimes you can't walk because you feel too heavy Sometimes you can't stay down because you feel too light You have seen and heard things But you push it away to comfort another You hold others while they cry But you never show your true feelings After years of being told that you're dramatic And no one wants to hear a sob story You hide behind fantasy Not knowing the difference between that and reality Because you only feel real in your head You make friends that never will be real You image mountains and beaches That you'll never see And you feel safe Warm Calm Happy Yourself Yourself that you hide because of your trust issues Depression, anxiety, self-doubt But maybe Just maybe If you share your fantasy with another You’ll find an even better reality

Reality Behind Fantasy by Sarah Wildermuth
Sometimes you can't walk because you feel too heavy Sometimes you can't stay down because you feel too light You have seen and heard things But you push it away to comfort another You hold others while they cry But you never show your true feelings After years of being told that you're dramatic And no one wants to hear a sob story You hide behind fantasy Not knowing the difference between that and reality Because you only feel real in your head You make friends that never will be real You image mountains and beaches That you'll never see And you feel safe Warm Calm Happy Yourself Yourself that you hide because of your trust issues Depression, anxiety, self-doubt But maybe Just maybe If you share your fantasy with another You’ll find an even better reality
