Living My Lie Poem by Patrick Villareal

</> Living my lie within myself, I have all that I need
Residing with you; my loved ones, in here I am free
Freed from all the suffering, freed from all the loss and the pain
Spending all my time wit you, in this world I am kept sane
Having all the warmth and joy I could possibly ask for
Reliving the memories and shaping new ones, wondering if I could have done more
Being drawn back to reality, I beg just for a moment longer
Ripped away and being thrown down the dark abyss, the pressure is getting stronger
Falling through the nothingness, I return to reality with a grave look on my face
Failing to have lived my lie, leaving no evidence of my world existing, not one trace
Wishing I could have stayed with you forever more
Residing in my world, living my dreams behind my mental door
