Lost in a Dream

I sit by the water, feet gliding over the top.

The reflection of the moon and stars like a painting on it.

My mind drifts off as my eyes remain open.

A world unlike any other, a place where I walk among the stars.

An escape from my reality back home.

A place where I don't have to worry about who I am. 

I snap back and realize it was a dream.

For my sanity isn't my own, my reality is the nightmare.

My escape is my home.
