Blind Illusion
There was a man, who didn't laugh,
At the stories told that day.
He lived in a world od Illusion,
Yet he wanted it that way.

Though he could see, he still was blind,
To things he wanted to ignore.
For in his mind, he lived for times,
When he could laugh once more.

He could escape, and walk away,
With the closing of his eyes.
And never know that all around him,
Was a world of hate and lies

But the future's gone,within this man,
Who still lives for his past.
His present brings him,hopes and dreams,
In hopes to smile at last.

Though he could see, he still was blind,
To things he wanted to ignore.
for in his mind, he lives for times
when he could laugh once more.

But a dream's a dream, and it always seems,
that dreams just have to end.
For the man who cries, when he opens up his eyes
ends up laughing once again
