non-fiction

I'm so tired

of living in non-fiction

I could use

a little escape

my life

has always been a contradiction 

speaking for myself

I need to take a break

give me fantasy

give me my subconscious

anything except

the here and now

constant motion

always makes me nauseous

I'd like some peace

but I can't remember how

          I need a story

          one I could hide in

          I need a story

          to fit myself into

          hopefully one

          of money, fame and glory

          I need a story to tell me what to do

I would like

to be in my own movie

the editing room

would get a lot of use

I'd cut out all the pain

that has happened to me

I need a reason

I don't have an excuse

          I need a story

          one I could hide in

          I need a story

          to fit myself into

          hopefully one

          of money, fame and glory

          I need a story to tell me what to do

I'm so tired

of living in non-fiction

I need to go

where no one else has gone

it's my choice

I don't have to ask permission

give me a story

I can base my life upon
