In the Realm of Mice and Men

Living in the midst of a blue green dream

Under the narcotic effect of peaches and cream

Never under estimate a woman’s ability to scheme

Perhaps that’s why I’m coming apart at the seams,

Distant echoes of happiness in the past

Mental prosperity never meant to last

The evil spell upon me that was cast

Leaving my hopes swinging from the mast,

Trust is a scarce commodity

When it comes to love and liberty

It kind of tugs at my sanity

In a world of compromised humanity,

Take me in, I need refuge from the storm

Too many fools have strayed from the norm

Give me pretty lies to keep me warm

Shielding me from the evil swarm,

Feeling like an alien life form

Seems experiences have left me a bit forlorn

Especially when love turns to scorn

Can’t seem to remember where I was born,

If only I were a child again

Playing so far from the lion’s den

Rather than living in the realm of mice and men

Existing in this sphere of pretend.
