Stuck in the real World
by Nat J

Walking away
from your love
I see a train station
that wasn't there
before
I walk down
the subway steps
to board
the slow train
to nowhere
a whisper creeps
into my ear
saying
"Don't fall down now
you will never get up"
while watching oblivion
crawl past
the train windows
satan comes
and offers me
a chemical smile
"Don't fall down now
you will never get up"
the voices sing
I arrive at my stop
and walking through
the snowy wonderland
that is "Nowhere"
I think I need
a little time to myself
As I lay down
on the cold ground
I hear the melodious
"Don't fall down now
you will never get up"
I decide to walk
back to reality
where the voices
won't bother me...
Before I leave a
miserable life
in nowhereland
to lead a
miserable life
in reality
they again warn
"Don't fall down now
you will never get up"
Crossing the border
I realize the message
and I try to go
back
only to find myself
stuck in the real world
listening to the echo
of their words
