Thinking, I sat
Lost within myself
Thoughts pull me in
Deeper and deeper
As I delve into
Complete ignorance
Of everything and
Everyone around me
Faces fade
Eyes grow tired
Of the same old scenes
And I wonder
How long will this last?
I wish to return
To my familiar places
Where I'll find
The ones that I love..
I want to fall asleep
Into eternal bliss
Of not knowing,
Not being aware.
I try to catch myself
Before it all disappears
But somehow I awaken
From my land of dreams.
