I am no fool
You can ridicule
Unreal as it seams
Just because I dream
Please don't wake me up
Please don't you disrupt
So for goodness sake
Leave me till I wake
My tendency is for fantasy
Extend me this courtesy
A world inside my head
Fable books once I read
Words you left unsaid
Life dangles by a single thread
I choose to dream of you instead
From reality I have fled
I know it's not reality
But I still dream of prosperity
Life filled with disparity
Yes you say hilarity
Consider impartiality
You claim neutrality
It needs no formality
It's just my mentality
So I dream of you and me
Dreaming of how it could be
For I now it won't last
So for now I'm having a blast
For what it is or what it's not
To forget you I cannot
So I'm living in my dreams
For all is never as it seams
