Real Life
©2001 Laurie Pagano Williams

I lay my head down
and I close my eyes, and I
listen to the sounds
going on outside
my window
It’s real life out there
I picture all their faces
and what they might be doing now
Where is everybody going
where could they all be bound
outside my window
leaving me behind

I imagine smiles on all their faces
but yet can still see the tears in their eyes

I pick my head up
and pull the curtain aside, and I
look at individuals
try to imagine what they’re feeling
inside
Do they know what I know

I walk over to the mirror
do I still like what I see, can I
still be a part of them
can they still be a part
of the life
that I used to know

There isn’t any truth to being here
'cause I'll always be someone else’s lie
I pick my feet up
and I walk up to the door
I see that it’s raining
just like the time before
It should be different
But it all looks the same

I lay my head down
and I close my eyes, and I
listen to the sounds
going on outside
my window
It’s real life out there
