Alive among the dreamers
Living in a haze
Webs of lies and twisted memories
Fog the view of reality
Those who long for truth
Are lost in waves of confusion
And a mist of hope
Blinds all to the harsh past
All stand in awe of their creation
There is no turning back
Once you have tasted
the bitter sweetness of their lies
Where pain means nothing
And all but beauty is pushed aside
In their world of lies
Where truth holds no worth
And where passion for remembrance is over powered
One such as I do not belong
Alive among the dreamers.x
Author notes
Option Two
I really fel I don't belong at the moment
And I'm sick of everyone lying just to make things seem better then they are.
I know how shit it all is.
And I'm just lost
