Wake up

Your back home

In bed

Dreading getting up

Having rules

Listening to adults

Pretending to be someone else

This is reality

Not the world of your dreams

That world is fading

Go to school 

Day dreams 

Teacher calls your name

Tells you to pay attention

40 math problems

Due tomorrow

So much homework

You’re in the real world

Not in the world of your dreams

That world is fading

Get home 

Take a nap

Wake up

Eat supper

Mom tells you what chores are left

Dad tells you to finish your homework

You have to listen

You’re in reality

Not in the world of your dreams

That world is fading

The world of your dreams

The world you wish to stay in forever

Where you have complete control 

everything makes sense

No boundaries

No need to hide

No reason to run away
