My Mental Landscape
Why do I never get bored, you ask?
Why do I never get cold?
Why is my mind a safe haven for me?
Why does my youth never get old?
Because I can daydream,
And I can escape
To the infinite plains
Of my mental landscape.
And all who try to punish me
Will never succeed in their task.
For my mind is too big a power for them.
In this glory—my daydreams— I bask.
There are some things I never tell anyone.
There are some things that no-one should know,
Like the dreams that go on inside my head
Which are exclusively for me, so
I may utilize
The many dreams
Inside my head
So they work for me.
I see myself
Indestructible
For always I can escape
To the plains that only roll for me
Inside my Mental Landscape.
Often times I wonder if I will ever escape
From the conditional wonder I’ve come to know
As my Mental Landscape.
Because, now it
Before my eyes,
Takes on a life of its own,
And changes,so quickly, by and bye
With nothing but nothing to mourn.
And I wonder if I
Am becoming a slave
To the dreams that dance
On my own stage.
But, still this is my little secret:
The life of my Mental Landscape.
So, I entertain
My fantasies.
For I know what they are, I know what they do,
I know that they can damage me.
But I don't care;
I use them well
To save me from all the mundane.
And I call them my umbrella
Because they save me from the rain.
Though I know it is wrong,
And I know that I should,
I never want to escape
From the hideous beauty inside my head
That is my Mental Landscape.
