For Now

For Now

A Poem by Maskedthoughts
"

My dreams vs. My reality

"
My dreams of escaping-
Of leaving this all behind
Is what gets me through the long drudging days
The mere idea of planning it
Makes my heart beat faster
And forces the breath from my lungs

Year after year I've sat here
Hoping, wishing, imagining
The day I could escape this treacherous city
The fake people
To find a place that makes me happy
To find people who accept me
To live my life to its potential

Visions of bustling streets, city lights
Long nights laughing with friends
Standing under an archway with my true love
Traveling, experiencing, living

For now I am left here in my room
Going on with the long days
Faking my happiness
But soon enough I will be free
And on my way to my destiny
Nothing will stop me
Nothing can hold me back
For my life has just begun
And I'm ready
