The Great Escape...

They call it the great escape because of its numbing power.
When you sit in your silence and greet all who shall pass.
You smile and you shine.
And inside your heart melts away.

Yes, we all feel pain inside.
And none of us know where to go.
And we never know what to do
When we're faced with that place between a dream and reality.

But we always wish it was a dream...
Not the dream...
But a dream...
One, where we can wake up..
Sit up..
Stand..
Go to the bathroom sink...
Splash water on our face...
Dry it off..

And go back to sleep...
