World of blankets
Warm embrace
My head hits the pillow
My mind drifts away
The world that causes me pain
No longer there
Lovely dreams
For me alone

Screams of frustration
Turn to laughs of glee
Eternal darkness
Turns to light
I am safe here
In my mind
No one can hurt me
I control fate

Morning comes
Dreams are shattered
My tears fall freally
My wonderful world
Is overcome by reality
I throw off the blankets
Walk down the stairs
Another day begins
