lost within my own mind
in a midnight summer's dream
flickering light in the evening stars
and wild fireflies gleam
in the distance a lone wolf howls
at a crescent blue moon
which reflects in the clear water
in a silent still lagoon
vanilla and jasmine
a fragrance so sweet
time is as fast
as a single butterfly's beat
savoring each moment
in the minutes that pass by
slipping away into slumber
under a teal-blue sky
only to be awoken
back in the real world
reminded of
the inner little girl
trying to escape
back to my special place
where the butterflies dance
and the sun glistens on my face
where tears are forgotten
and problems fade away
where bitterness is cast off
and everything's okay
my special place
where i play hide and seek
with the tiny fairies
fragile, but not weak
and the wavering leaves
of the mournful weeping willows
and the wind never blows
in bleak chilling billows
all is peaceful and calm
as the crickets chirp at night
so good to break
from the norm of drunken fights
and when i return
back to my reality
i'm forced to savor
the bitter taste of mortality
so as i feel each blow
inflicted with pain
i run to my mind
where it never rains
painted perfect
with cotton candy clouds
and violet skies
and i'm sure i'll be safe
i live without doubt
where i play tag with the angels
and fireworks lights up the night
where i run away from my problems
where i don't have to worry, because everything's all right
but someway, somehow
i'm drawn back home
where they is daily abuse
and i'm left alone
to cry and drown
knee deep in tears
and i'm going under
swallowed up in my fears
i can no longer
run far away
can no longer return
to my special place
