A Day In The Virtual Dimension
Look at yourself in the mirror
and tell me what you see.
In time you will know
the difference between 'fun' and 'happy',
that 'fun' is something temporary,
like the taste of alchohol for example,
or the night you'll spend after a couple of bottles,
how you would forget everything with a kiss
but then realize something's in your heart you still miss
the morning after. In time you will know
that 'fun' will never replace 'lonely',
like how every place or scenery
you'd ever go to cannot be called home,
because home is something peaceful and beautiful and lasting,
because home is something you might never be capable of.
You see, as long as you live and believe
in your mirror, you will never be.
