Just a fantasy

JUST A FANTASY

I’m trapped in this life

In a pampered world

Everything I want, but

Don’t envy me,

for I long to be free

To be just me

Who is me?

Is the person you see really me?

Or am I what everyone

Wants me to be

Can you see,

the faraway look in my eyes?

My body is here but my spirit flies

To faraway lands

With eternal happiness

And endless blue skies

Where I take off my mask

And let my soul free

Bare my thoughts to the world

And have freedom to be

Just me

But happiness eludes me

Can I ever find it?

Can it ever be?

Can I ever feel free?

Or is my wish just a fantasy?
