It's just a poem, I'm not a pro...
Kind of depressing...

I've fallen into a fairytale nightmare
This comfortable space where I stay
It is a place to lay my heavy head
Where I close my eyes and pray

Seemingly innocuous shadows
that seep into my soul and my heart
I have to dig deep and coerce a smile
Forever doomed to play a part

The highs so high I must admit
The light plays tricks so cruel
and when the ploy is foiled
I will not be made a fool

Burning swells inside my chest
My body will not succumb
Anger seems to be the excuse
I am left to feel so numb

So unassuming, soft and sweet
It feels just like a kiss
A fairytale nightmare begins again
A wide, open abyss
