I close my eyes and am transported
To a world that doesn't exist in reality
It's made up of hopes and dreams and wishes
All waiting to come true, to be achieved, attained
I revel in the carefree feeling
Not worrying about the cosntant threats of life

The scene begins to blur
It's losing its brightness and color
Darkness slashes through the haze
Corrupting the hopes,
Crushing the dreams,
And tainting the wishes
I fight the unwanted tendrils of reality
Gripping at the fading fantasy,
The vanishing utopia

I jolt awake
Faced with life's ugliness
The ruin, the corruption, and the anger
Consume the crevices of the earth
I am stuck, unable to escape, from this living hell.
