real

Live and let live

i have that tattoo

as my first, in a language i couldn’t

speak even in my dream

i knew nothing of this world

of how cruel it can be

when i’m the only one

who can make everything happen

all the joy, and misery

as long as i’m in control, i’m good to go

like a switch, i could take me to the moon

and then drop myself down with no warning

i created that world so perfectly

so i don’t have to live in the real one.
