In another world
Mom and Dad are still
Together, my brother didn't
Get lost in drugs, I
Cared enough to keep up
With them, and one
Might call us a family.
In another world
My friends and I had
Better things to do then
To get high and act
Like we’re superior
Then everybody else.
In another world
I’m athletic and charming,
Blessed with the social
Graces, meeting new people
Everyday, and the girls
Are dying to meet me.
In another world
I graduated from college,
Got a masters in ancient
History, and now I’m a
Professor that loves what
He does for a living.
In another world
We’re still in love with
One another, we’ve gotten
Married, have beautiful kids,
And enjoying the best
Happy ever after this
World has to offer.
In this world
These are the things
That keep me up late
At night, that I fantasize
About fixing, and sometimes
Pretend never really happened.
In Another Reality
