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
