Reality Check

A place where you are happy
Of sorrow no one knows
A place where it is sunny
And gentle breezes blow
A smile on your face
No tears are in your eyes
You are always laughing
There are no reasons to cry
Everything is calm
You feel no regret
Nothing bad ever happens
This is as good as it gets
This place, there's no such thing
This isn't the way things are
Nothing is this easy
Everything comes hard
Welcome to reality
Where pillows are tear stained
Welcome to an empty life
Filled with only pain
Welcome to this place
Look at these swollen eyes
Look at how red they get
From all the times I've cried
Look at all the scars
Lined up neatly on my wrist
Look what happens when I'm mad
A temptation I couldn't resist
Welcome to a world
Where pain is all you feel
Welcome to the way things are
With wounds that time can't heal
Welcome to this sad story
Do what you must
Try and escape this reality
But it's never enough...
