we live in the idea of this fantasy world
one where mom and dad love each other
one where mom and dad love you
one where you live in the suburbs, and you have loving siblings.
your family hosts the weekly barbecue
and your uncle isn't addicted to heroin.
one where your family comes together
and they don't get drunk and want to kill eachother.
we live in a fantasy world
one based on sitcoms and romcoms
where the guy gets the girl
not where the girl can get the girl
not where the guy can get the guy.
we live in this fantasy world
where everyone feels love
and everyone has someone to love them.
in a world where your religion doesn't matter
and your beliefs don't get you killed
and where women are equal
and people of color are treated all the same.
but that's not the case, is it?
we are alone a majority of our lives.
you will see friends and family living in this world
and you will never even get a taste of it.
in reality, the world isn't a fantasy
it's not a beautiful place.
it's dark, and scary, and evil
and not everyone makes it out.
