Lost Reality

Lost Reality
Posted By: Katrina Washington on December 11, 2006
Lost
in my own mind

Lost
in my own fantasies

Fantasies
of romance and ecstasy

Lost
in my own way
of thinking

Thinking
about the way
things should be

Lost

In my pretend world
where things
go right

Lost

In a place where
hurt and disappointment
don't happen that often

Lost there
Here in reality

Reality
full of doubt
and loneliness

Reality
full of lost hopes
and disappointed dreams

How do I
change
reality?

How can I
become
lost in my reality?
