My False Paradise Reality

Can nobody come
To hold me when I cry
Can the pain be undone?
Can I even try?

The sun sets on my tears
Every single night
How many years
Must I struggle to fight?

I feel a world away
From everyone
My mind just won’t stay
What a dreamer I’ve become

The only escape, in denial
My life is not mine
When I dream, inside I smile
And it just passes time

So though you come
To sit, get me to speak
Don’t want the dream undone
And I know I seem weak

But this is the only way
That I can really fly
Without being caught every day
Asking should I live or should I die
