My Reality

an illusion cast across my mind
in the dark they dance in my eyes
thoughts that slice and bleed within
are keeping me awake again

through the night I see the things
that come to me in my dreams
blurring the line of my reality
making me question my sanity

a slip of the mind in a dreamlike state
the visions I see when I'm half awake
through the haze in my eyes I see the dark
move and breathe pick me apart

little by little the thorns push deep
with each memory making me bleed
and across my heart the razors slice
drowning my soul as I bleed inside

as I fight through this darkening dread
my sanity hanging by a thread
I must think to myself that its only a dream
even with as real as it seems

my attempts to convince fall in vain
as these thoughts keep devouring my brain
and when I wake the thoughts I still think
and I know that this is my reality
