Illusion

Singing a song of joy
Pretending to be coy

I still feel fear
Which I thought wasn't near

The illusions keep dancing
Creating a million shadows, all prancing

I steer my mind away from the clutter
And find myself running to the waters

A soothing coolness engulfs me 
I find myself drowning deeper in

I smile and know that this is where I want to be
I rest my head and feel free
