I know how it is,
Something's always going wrong,
But no one seems to notice,
"How can I take this, am I imaginary?"
The truth hurts and can be scary,
Especially living in a world where no one takes you seriously,
You hang your head,
Move on,
Forever imaginary,
It's not often I get asked how I feel,
Is this reality?
Or another ordeal?
You don't get to pick and choose,
It's not 'Deal or No Deal',
No matter what happens I have to rely on myself, stand up and deal,
But at the same time it's no use living like its all or nothing,
I've still gotta fight through,
But more often than not it feels like it's all for nothing,
When even in your own opinion you will amount to nothing,
Am I imaginary?
Can you see me walk down the street?
No eye contact,
Eyes fixed on my feet,
If this is all pretend then I'll make the best of it,
I've spent too long ignoring my life,
I've made a mess of it,
No matter how rough it gets,
I will get through and live the rest of it,
I'm the only one who can close my eyes,
And lead me blind,
I'm the only one who can crush my dreams,
And forget who I am,
I'm an individual only visible to those willing to understand,
Forever imaginary.
