Broken dreams

I lay my head upon the clouds
weaving fantastic visions
with dancing fairies, new found love
and funny prancing ponies

then my spell slowly breaks
i'm thrust into this nightmare
of failing grades
and mislayed love
i take the knife upon me

i scratch and slice upon my flesh
a fresh peach colored canvas
my pain pours out, to something real
something to see, smell and feel
so the world will see my broken soul
and i will not be a pretender

so now i lay upon the ashes
blackening the tears
i slip away, and fall, and fall
into the seeping darkness
