My Reality

I’m writing this, a letter to you
Praying you will understand
There are those who don’t hear me
This is beyond their reality
It is a world of smoke and mirrors to them
But this is what I deal with every day
This is my reality

I don’t think like you do
I don’t react like you do
My reasoning lacks reason
My common sense lacks sense
But this is me

I am happy, I am sad, I am nothing
Flick the switch and roll the dice
Blackjack is a better gamble than me
Watch me as I flip and loop
The facade is ever changing
As the me inside struggles to balance
This is my reality

I don’t think like you do
I don’t react like you do
My reasoning lacks reason
My common sense lacks sense
But this is me

I haven’t changed into someone else
It is still me beneath the label
So let the label fall and see me
Nothing has changed in what I want
I need your love and support
As I reject ever wanting you
This is my reality

I don’t think like you do
I don’t react like you do
My reasoning lacks reason
My common sense lacks sense
But this is me
