My World

The colors of the world look real to me
Within the bounds of insanity
I am often afraid of nothing at all
And sometimes feel two feet tall

Some people say my mind is gone
But I think they are very wrong
I always know which world I'm in
And I can tell when I can't win

It's not my fault that you can't see
The things my eyes know to be
Why is it that I'm to blame
For so many other peoples' shame

Just because the world I know
Is a place I no longer go
I prefer the one I've made
And gladly watch the other fade

Reality is far too cruel
Insanity a lovelier jewel
I really wish that I could share
And bring you along when I go there
