Pretend

I've taken a step back from reality

To where no one knows me

Where I can be happy

And pretend to be free

Where everything is created

By my lone imagination

Where others get seated

And I rule the nation

I decide what is what

And if anyone talks back

From my mind I'll cut

None will be cut any slack

But now my world is crumbling

And everyone is running

I find myself stumbling

What happened to the world that was so stunning

My barrier was broken

And reality came crashing back in

But I still carry a token

Of when I was a leader of men
