Fairytale

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Fairytale

Fairytale
Heart beating faster 
ever faster
Soul soaring ever higher
Mind not awake,
or fully awake,
but soaring high above the clouds in Neverland,
A place where things seem so real but aren't,
while the world below you seems so fake but real,
and as you push the sadness away,
and tell yourself you'll wake up from this dream soon,
the world of Neverland becomes ever stronger,
beckoning, 
calling,
telling you to follow your mind and not your heart,
you must run away from this madness that is life,
that is your life.
and every night you tell yourself,
you will wake up
you will wake up
brave it out
sing a song
it can't last forever.
but each day just gets harder,
every breath becomes shorter,
and the land above becomes ever brighter,
ever brighter.
you want to be flying with dragons,
soaring with birds,
figuring out problems you can deal with,
where all the pieces fit into place,
like a big puzzle for your mind to play its games. 
It doesn't seem real anymore, 
the place which makes your heart hurt.
So what if you can't figure out those problems?
So what if you can't fix your mistakes?
It's not real anyway
that's what you tell yourself. 
It's not real anyway. 
And as that hole gets deeper,
your mind becomes freer, 
at least to you your free,
at least to you you can soar with dragons
at least to you you're sain. 
That land below is just a fairytale.
it's not real
its never been real
just a strange little fairytale,
its just a badly written story. 
So one day you're in the clouds,
testing your new wings, 
but all you can see is blackness,
so you decide to close the fairytale bellow,
the strangely written story that makes no sense,
that makes your heart hurt,
the thing that doesn't seem real at all.
and both your worlds go black.

Both your worlds go black

You can't feel a thing

That Neverland you left

You remember it fondly

Oh but the pain

The pain that you have caused

To yourself but no one knows

How badly you hurt

You wish you could find that dream again

But you can't

You can't go back now

This is a nightmare

Why can't you live again?

Why can't you love again?

When will you be free

That Neverland

Oh Neverland

It's gone until you dream

Like the child you once were

And you can forgive yourself

Of the loss of your own life

No

You're not dead

But you certainly aren't living

For how could you be alive if you cannot dream?

I like this! This is fun! It isn't poetry... What IS it? Ugh, this is going to bug me...
