The radio plays,
as I sit in my chair.
I'm in a daze,
and I don't really care.

I look around,
at the same four walls.
Losing my mind,
as the numbness falls.

Reality hesitates,
letting fantasy slip in.
A short little fight,
and reality rules again.

My tears fall,
as I watch fantasy go.
My heart sleeps,
letting the pain grow.

My mind wakes,
and gloats at its victory.
My mind promises,
it will never set me free.

Very nice, JP, and rhyming none the less.
Reminded by something I read by Poe,

"An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away."

Who needs reality anyway.

Very sad. Reminds me of the drive down the freeway - dreaming and loving it, just to be interrupted by a damn horn blaring or something.
