Short Stories

Against

Tripping along the line of reality
Half awake,
Half asleep
All there,
Yet not there
Land of my own
Vs.
a land of everyone else's.
Words on a page
Sings stories of imaginary places
Places only real to those who question reality.
Questioning why people tell them to get out of their heads and live in the real world for a while.
But living in that world is cruel and uncertain.
Where singing is just noise in the back round of a duller soundtrack moving in an endless loop of the same thing.
Where love in but a drop of sound only heard by the two it's affecting.
Where in that loop people who dream are shed off and ridiculed by others who have seen nothing but themselves in the mirror of the ground they walk.
Where escape seems impossible...
But all you would have to do
Is look the other way
And walk against the stream of reality.
