Dreamscape

I'm content with dreaming,
because reality is beating down on me.

I'm not pleased with this life I lead,
too many forgotten moments,
they weigh so heavely on me.

I'm content with living in the misty clouds.
I can't face the world just yet.
Failures scream throughout my head.

I've gotten everything I've wanted,
yet emptiness plays its part so clearly.
Words are flowing through my head,
you're making it so hard to breathe.

I'm content with moving in lighting speed.
Anything to keep my mind from wondering,
anything to keep these thoughts from catching me.

I'm content with running from this world.
It's easier than facing these mysteries.
It's easier than facing you.

I'm content with living in my dreams.
It's easier than facing the reality
of never being good enough.

    That stanza really stood out for me...I'm exactly like that...I try to run from my problems, bury them...but it hasn't worked lately. I've had to face them and it's really hard, but it's worth it in the end.

    Great job, good luck in the contest!
