Eluding Reality

Blue tears weave a streak down my cheek
My brain is playing a game of hide-and-seek
Hurt so deep, it strangles the breath from me
Wayward thoughts close my mind to reality
Reality like a thief hiding from the light
Stealing away my day and torturing my night
Rusty hinges really help lock in the past
Images silhouette my mind so very fast
Locked in screams scratching to be free
Refusing and forever eluding reality.

Locked in screams scratching to be free
Refusing and forever eluding reality.
