This pain will one day pass…
And your eyes will begin to see…
The world spinning around you…
Is still full of wonder & fantasy…
And the hurt you are now feeling…
Will heal in the fullness of time…
Becoming your heart’s scar tissue…
A lump that will always remind…
Of the time when you flew so high…
Stretched your wings amongst the birds…
Danced between thunder & lightning…
Allowed electricity to ignite your world…
Taking you to some places…
You never thought you’d go…
Tasting such experiences…
You never thought you’d know…
And emotions never felt before…
Due to a version of yourself unseen…
Someone who sat deep within you…
Yet you never had the chance to be…
But now she walks alongside you…
The two of you have become one…
Now you face the challenge…
Of keeping her out of the sun…
Making sure she’s quietly hidden…
Forcing her out of plain sight…
Because if reality ever sees her…
Your mind will lose this fight…
And then life won’t be worth living…
Because it won’t be worth the cost…
As everything you know & love…
Will be shattered & will be lost…
So don’t let her colour your world…
Prevent her from taking control…
Be strong try to fight her…
Because the prize is your very soul…
As I promise this pain will pass…
And your eyes will slowly see…
That what maybe seemed so exciting…
Was always just a vivid fantasy…

Pessimism, optimism or a close approximation of reality?
