Escape to nowhere

In my mind a world I'd create a forest of peace Where love radiates Enchanted gardens where the pain would fade A magical place where I felt safe No voices that sting no fists that strike No empty hearts that cut like a knife I built my escape a haven so true but reality always Pulled me through I'd give anything to stay in my dreams where the world Is kind and nothing's as it seems Far from the shadows the pain the fight a place of Magic of endless light But I wake to the scars the ache the despair a fleeting Escape a life so unfair The walls at home echoed with rage a prison of torment A cruel stage My mother's silence my sister's blows a cycle of pain Nobody knows My father's absence his love so cold a story of neglect That's bitter and old In my dreams I was free I could breathe but waking Brought chains I couldn't leave I'd give anything to stay in my dreams where the world Is kind and nothing's as it seems Far from the shadows the pain the fight a place of magic Of endless light But I wake to the scars the ache the despair a fleeting Escape a life so unfair In the enchanted woods I'd find my place a world Untouched by anger's trace But reality drags me back to this pain to memories That fall like endless rain Every bruise every cry every scream fades for a moment In my magical dream But I'm tethered here to the world I know a life of scars I can't outgrow I'd give anything to stay in my dreams where the world Is kind and nothing's as it seems Far from the shadows the pain the fight a place of magic Of endless light But I wake to the scars the ache the despair a fleeting Escape a life so unfair In my dreams I'm free I'm whole A sanctuary untouched by control But reality waits its grip unkind my dreams fade leaving Pain behind
