Poetry Is Just An Escape From Reality

Words dance on the page
Fly unheeded from thy pen
Paint pictures with those words
Form false illusions
And worlds of lies

Draw lives and fairy tales
With endings full of deception
Fake and yet full of real emotion
Happily ever after

Verse after verse
Of your fantasy life
The one we'd all like to lead
The high of deceiving yourself
Into thinking that it could be real
Even if only for a moment

Stanza after Stanza
Of carefully weaved lies
Carefully said to not break the illusion
We live in a reality all our own

Line after line
Of happy endings
Or heartbroken sobs
Nobody speak to loudly
It'll shatter the illusion

Carefully constructed
This lovely little world of ours
Stands far above the real
For ours is built
Of dreams and wishes
Of hope and despair
Of love and hate
Of truth and lies

I've come to realize,
Poetry is just an escape from reality
