My Secret World

by Unseen Exposure   Sep 27, 2004



In dreams, I do escape,
I fall away from what is real,
I re-enter myself in a paradise,
And live in a fantasy surreal,

I capture smiles that are true,
From others that pass me by,
No one here is saddened,
For we have no time to cry,

The sun is always shining,
And everyone is is content,
At peace with who we are inside,
No one's torn or bent,

This world that I created,
Is something that only I own,
There's no one in it that can hurt me,
And I never feel alone,

I have shoulders here to cry on,
And people that really care,
They reach their hands out to me,
When I feel broken and scared,

They walk through dirt and mud with me,
And never turn their backs,
They tell me everything will be okay,
And that I should just relax,

There's no sharp objects I can grab,
And make scars with on my wrists,
In this fantasy there's no such thing,
They simply don't exist,

Everything feels so perfect,
And for once, I feel alright,
But soon it all comes to an end,
As morning breaks in on the night,

My dream is interrupted,
By the dawning of a new day,
And everything I am comforted by,
Slowly fades away,

My eyes open up to sadly see,
That I have woken up again,
Still lonely, still lost, still afraid,
Every day since I was ten,

But I have one thing to look forward to,
And it's my fantasy world I keep,
Because soon enough I know,
I'll go to bed, and fall asleep,

My dream will re-appear,
And I'll have the comfort that I long,
But until I can find that place again,
I just have to be strong ...

^ I know it's really lame!!! I just didn't know how else to write it ...

    amazing. this is one of my favorite poems from you. its so beautiful and it can relate to everyone caz its like the first thing we do if something bad happens and theres no one there to comfort us we either break down or go to a world that isnt real to pretend that we are comforted and that nothing went wrong. and you said all that in such a beautiful way, your so gifted and talented**
