In a different world, I am a better person
Assured and firm, confident and assertive
But this isn't a different world is it?
Because The Reality is, in this world, I'm the exact opposite of who I wish I could be.

I look up to the starless sky, wondering if You can hear me
Because everytime I ask a question, my only response is silence
If You're there, then truly, I want to know why I'm here
Because The Reality is, I don't know what to do with myself anymore

In waking dreams I see how broken I've become
It feels like a large piece of me is missing, I'm incomplete
I've tried so hard to fix myself time and time again
But The Reality is, there are things in this world that cannot be made whole

I don't know why I'm not happy, joyful and carefree
I have what most people truly long for
Yet even with this, I feel more alone than I've ever been
Because The Reality is, despite everything, I feel like I have nothing

Reality is a difficult pill to swallow
I wish my life was as easy and wonderful as the lands of fantasy I invent in my head
I want to live, to dream, to love, to be happy
But The Unfortunate Reality is, I don't want to live my life anymore...
