Sometimes I want to live in a dream world

Creating all that happens

Controlling all and everything

It would be as I dreamed

Simple and easy

Nothing would ever go wrong

Pain wouldn’t be pain

Fear would be a joke

And Love would be everything

There would be no surprises

Nothing to make me unhappy

Nothing to change the way I feel

But then

What about those in the dream

How would they feel

Being controlled against their will

Forced into submission

For my happiness.

Of course I would dream them happy

But then the very thing I’d want

Would have turned against me

For there would be no surprises

Nothing to make me laugh in embarrassment and joy

Nothing different

Everything would be the same

The girl would get the hero every time

Would never feel anger or sadness

Never to experience rebuilding broken friendships

From the rubble they had fallen to

Never knowing TRUE love

Would it really be worth

Controlling everyone and everything

To escape

Knowing somewhere, that it was false

That I was living in a dream

And never truly accomplishing anything

Never really gaining anything

Because nothing was lost

Except sanity

So though a dream world sounds inviting

To take away the pain and uncertainty

To make me feel wanted

I think I’ll linger here, in the real world

Because isn’t it worth

Everything it took to get here in the first place?

Well what do you think? Does it suck?

This is what happens when I'm bored at 1am...

Please R&R
