Fairytales

The fairytale's in your head,
Created to mask reality,
The safest high,
Floating in midair,
Glimpses of truth sail the ship,
Through clouds and over rainbows,
Open minded and closed eyes,
Painting a sunny day with rainy clouds outside,
Cutting hearts and butterflies,
Bleeding love and compromise,
Miles away from paradise,
Smiles and warm hugs,
Silence's warranted drugs,
Constant broken ties,
Staring into eyes that mesmerize,
Being carried away and paralyzed,
Snapping back to fears and self-taught lies,
Facing life with depleted tries,
The crewless ship weathers the storm,
Heat's cold, weary and forlorn,
All care and trust is gone,
Alone and lonely,
Will shredded, insides torn,
Knights, Prince Charmins, Princesses and Frogs,
The dream is over before it began,
Waking up is easy, getting up is hard,
To face the day is to face your fears,
But it's difficult to see with eyes full of tears,
And you're hiding because you can't let them see,
What your version of you is - to be free,
So you were never fully you,
Keeping it 49,
But it's safe sliding down the rabbit hole,
And you've grown to enjoy the dark,
There's clarity, and truth and purity,
There's normalcy in abnormality,
There's perfection in imperfection,
Each adventure heightens the faculties,
Life encapsulated by joy and peace,
Furnished innovation and creativity,
An escape, an illusion or both,
But for the while you're happy,
With the fairytales in your head.
