the hypocrite

breathe in
then out
again
now cover your eyes
better?
good
now wake up
you were only dreaming
you could ever escape
this building
with but one exit
your name
above your tomb
no matter what you do
or don't
there is a light
at the end of the tunnel
yes
and like an insect
you are drawn to it
like home
after a long trip
safe
the end of running
the silence of screaming
but so too ceases
your hand
in the love you've known
and your hopes
against the bloodrush
of time
and distractions
to make things good
better
a do over
if only you could freeze
time
like a song you knew
pause ...
now breathe in again
come up for air
the world is waiting
people care
you are special
you are valued
loved
but not really....
