Façade


I live in a dream My own reality I live in a meadow Where I find myself I live on a balcony My own aerial view I live in tomorrow My own today I hide in the cemetery Beyond a shallow grave I live in a forest Safe under its canopy I live in the ocean A personal aquarium I live on the edge My own rebellion I live in the novel And in the story it tells I am a façade To be what I am not I breathe freely To know I am alive I live without time Living in each moment I live on a cliff About to fall My mind is a trick My thoughts are not real I live in clarity Once again, I am trapped in reality
