Don't do it,

Don't do it,

Don't 

You

Dare

Do 

It.


Heart pounding,

Blood pumping,

Feet flying.


My thoughts run far from my 

body,

back home to the people

Love. 


Not my 

Mother.


Not my 

Father.


Just my

Siblings.


The ones who

Deserve

My love.


The ones that have

Been there 

In times of need, even when they didn't

Know

It.


As my feet hit the gravel path leading to my

Old

Home, 

Where my 

Siblings wait,

I cannot stop

The thoughts.


The ones that follow me,

Even when the lights are off.


The ones that make me wake up,

Sweating,

In the middle of the night with tears streaming down my face.


Not for something 

Lost,

Not for a 

Family

That I wish I had.


But a life where

Someone

Loves me,

Where someone

Wakes up

And 

Goes to sleep

With me by their side.


Just because they can.


Just because they love me.


But, in reality,

The bed is empty

Except for me.


No warmth can be found,

Even with all of the blankets

In the house

Wrapped

Around me. 


Because my dreams haven't come true.


My fantasies are just that;

Fantasies.


And, 

No matter what anyone says,

I wish that 

Reality

And

Fantasies 

Had no lines between them.


That they would 

Blur 

Until you couldn't 

Tell the difference.


That I could 

Live

In those 

Fantasies

Like other people,

Who we look at as

Insane,

Mental.


But who may be the smartest of us all.
