My Other World


A door opens into a room of thought No beginning or end the tale unwinds Slowly. Only to reveal you’ve been caught By images in your very own mind Some faces are secret others are shown You run from fear and try to escape Wanting to uncover the truth; unknown You cannot hide in this barren landscape You want to know that this world is not real, Searching for something to explain this place Time goes on so slow as you try to feel For the doorway out of this endless chase The sunshine breaks the seal of your closed eyes And to that dream world you say your goodbyes.
