Escape from Reality

Hush, my child,
Life isn't what it seems 'cause,
Deep down in your head...

Relief seems to find
A way to your heavy mind.
Your worries go away.

Sleep, and happy dreams,
Rush you elsewhere to escape
The torture of Life.

Like a hungry dog,
Prowls at you, Life can't get away.
Life can't get enough

Clings onto you like
Your desire for love, for care.
That Life has locked up

Away from your reach--
