Do not disturb

as i stare off into space,
my science teacher snaps in my face.
they say i'm always in another place,
blaming me like i'm a mistake.

'cause i've built a whole universe in my head,
i fantasize instead of going to bed,
because everything's better in my head.

i don't get hurt,
i don't get blamed for what's not my fault,
i don't get in trouble for no reason,
there's no scars on my wrist,
there's no screaming,
no traumatic reeling,
i don't have to fake a smile,
i don't have to cover up my skin,
i can read every book,
i can write as well as Shakespeare to the best Wattpad poets,
not everything is peaceful, but it's bliss.

but, alas, it's all in my head.
i should probably go to bed,
but the nightmares always start,
then the tears fall.

oh well,
if you need me, i'll be in my own world
with a sign, saying
DO NOT DISTURB
