The day seems good until you wake up.
The world seems welcoming until you enter it.
When the morning comes, nothing seems good.
The moment my eyes open and until they are shut
I feel like death would be better, safer, and more peaceful.
But the moment my eyes are closed, dreams come and take me.
The dream of peace and happiness, the warmth, and love.
It may only last a moment, but it gives me strength,
Strength for the day to come.
No matter what it be, a nightmare or a fantasy,
It seems better than life.
Friends in my dreams never leave or change.
Time never passes too fast or too slow.
You are never forgotten or hated.
Nothing seems better, and you start to feel happy.
Then the sun comes up and you're brought back,
Back to the truth of the world.
The pain and sadness,
The hate and fear of life washes over you
And you wish you wouldn't have opened your eyes.
You want to fall back into your welcoming sleep
Where nothing goes wrong and you are always loved.
