The delusional fantasy,
Which one may live,
Dreaming always,
Of being set free,
From everything holding us back,
From reaching our true potential,
This delusional fantasy,
That I now live,
What I wish would give,
To see myself set free,
From these hollow chains that bind me,
That delusional fantasy,
Which we all now live,
Will never let us go,
We will never truly see the light,
Until it is too late,
This delusional fantasy,
From which I now speak,
Is one that you might get caught in,
So do your best,
To not be caught,
Live your life,
The way you want,
And not the way others may choose for you.
