Struck down by reality

5 1 0
                                    

Come at me like lightning

I won't let you strike

You're supposed to be frightening

You don't know what it's like

-

Take me down with your horns

Pummel me to the ground

You're a rose, you have thorns

But take a look around

-

These hallways are bare

So is my mind

Come at me if you dare

I may be hard to find

-

I'll keep your petals

Leave the rest in dirt

Ignoring the hurt

Swallow pills for dessert

-

I'll take your leaves

Your sun and your rain

If you help me relieve

Myself of this pain

-

Right after you bloom

If you promise to grow

I'll give you doom

When it comes time for snow

-

Reality concluded

That was a lie

My conscious secluded

I refuse to cry

-

Reality striking

Drowning in these waves

To shallow for my liking

I'm reality's slave
