Unclaimed, Not Sorted [Random]

[58]

Sometimes I wish I were somebody else,

Someone far away in a fantasy land

Where dreams are big and no one is denied

But I suppose that no one owns delight

There are things that I've always wanted to do

Like write a book, maybe one or two

But I've always wished that I could have a life

Outside the locked-up gates, I dream of butterflies.

Ignorance kills me like poison always does

Reminds me of the pain that I deserve

Those things, like happiness, I've never touched,

It's a heaven far from the underground hell I live in

Why must everything be so confusing?

Why can't everyone stop forgetting?

Time is of the essence, my soul is running dry

Lost in a minefield of dreams I ignite

Apologies, they never work twice

My heart, it's hurt a million other times

My eyes, they're searching for a life

Somewhere far from the place I currently lie

I hope you liked this poem, I know it's probably a bit early but it's going 3 p.m. and I'm feeling more unmotivated than usual so I figured this might help. Bye! :D
