Poem by Layla Skyles
Her reality is one she would wish not to have
Instead she would rather be guided by her dreams
The things she sees in her dreams are colorful and bright
While things at home are horrible and resemble night
As she lay in her bed
Dreaming of things that make her feel all she ever wanted to feel
Alive
In her dreams, someone is holding her
Someone is loving her
In a place where nothing matters but the heart and mind
She reads stories of fairytale endings and good families
Only she wishes these exist in her world and not in her mind
She goes into her dream-world everynight to be welcomed by light
Only to wake up to a feeling of fright
Dreaming is her only escape from this horrible reality she calls home
Instead of dreaming one night
She looks for a knife to take her life
Now she is in her dream-world for good
Where no one can hurt her anymore and she can be free at last.
