by Richard VinceShe writes her dreams
To escape from her reality
Trapped between blank walls
That stare from all sides
She retreats inside herself
And locks the door
She has no home in this world
Just a place to try and live
And keep a shred of hope
And every night and every day
She weaves a world of her own
Where there is love and warmth
And fairy tales and dreams survive
But that world is no more substantial
Than a word, or the paper
On which she writes
And so she cries every night
A tear for each dream lost
As she tries to find a way through reality
But someone dismantled the signposts
One day she will wake up
And reality will have been
Just another dream 08/21/2000 Posted on 10/08/2004
