Dream...

Is there anyway I could merely fall asleep and just dream... dream..

 

Dream away from the scars and fights

 

Fights and scars of all that which oppresses me and depresses me, Reality is no necessity of mine

 

I shall stick to the depths of my mind

 

And whatever I may find

 

I'll hold it, I'll mold it, till I can call it mine.

 

 

For what hath reality ever hold for me

 

Nothing, nothing but pain, misery, and atrocity

 

Free, I shall be

 

With the birds of my dreams

 

For it seems

 

That the birds that fly in reality

 

Are trapped and caged hopelessly

 

By this omnipresent hatred

 

leave this Earth as it is, old and decrepit

 

 

I dare not die

 

'T'is not death

 

For I have lived and merely decide

 

'Tis those that live, that hath given up their breath

 

I lie awake ready for the ride

 

The ride that may take me to a new height

 

Oh sweet cyanide... I sleep again, tonight
