Write Down To It

I sit with Zen like meditation
Trying desperately to escape all my frustrations
Face in hand trying to come up with a master plan
To not let life beat me


I close my eyes and, my mind opens to another time
Somewhere very far yet so very near
My own personal dimension
Where I can escape life and its aggression


A system
A place
With no faults
Where life embraces you, with open arms
Somewhere that gives you a guide to follow
To be successful
To be happy
To look forward to tomorrow


Where no pain can hurt you
And only positive thoughts consume you
Everyday brings a smile to your face
Where happiness takes depression's place
Everything is right with the world


But then...
Would it really be life?
My mind's eye closes and I'm forced back to reality
