Perceptions
(8/15/08)

Struggling, to get the words out right
Struggling, to make them see
Struggling, to make them hear

Struggling, to find my courage
Struggling, to stand my ground
Struggling, to keep the peace

Why can't they hear me, see me?
Is it all a dream?
I open my mouth, no words come out

Try to move my head, my arms, anything
Nothing moves as it should, nothing's as it seems
I can hear their voices, faded, far away

Am I going crazy, am I really hear?
I open my eyes, the moon is overhead
Dreams so real, life is false

Waiting to wake up, waiting to see
Reality is chaos, painful and tears
Fiction is easier, change it as you please
