( FOOL'S PARADISE! )

out of all the hundreds and thousands
of galaxies, there must be one where i can
live a better life. one, where i belong.
where the grass is greener, and the
people are more accepting.

however, the galaxy i live in isn't
as wonderful as my dreamscape.

my dreamscape doesn't contain carrying
the weight of an aching heart night and
day, on my shoulders.

my dreamscape doesn't contain my
self-worth, going down the drain in a matter of seconds. my dreamscape
doesn't contain unhappiness, that stops
and never goes again, like a
heart monitor that flat lined.

my dreamscape, is the place for me.
a place where i belong, and feel safe.

i feel as if i can reach out, and
feel the sparkling stardust of the clouds
against my fingertips.

but as soon as the tips of my fingers brush
up against the clouds,
i snap back into reality.

reality, the place where i feel unhappy,
and rejected.
where the people are meaner, and declining.
all, the cause of my unhappiness.

what's sad, is that this is what
reality truly is. and my vision of a better life
is just, and will always be, an illusion.

i've been convinced that my
dreamscape is just a fool's paradise.
