"BACK TO REALITY"

"OR IS IT REALITY

By Vicki Lawana Trusselli Published 2 years ago 1 min read
VIDEO BY VICKI ART BY VICKI & MICROSOFT CO-PILOT

Verse 1: Thoughts crowd my brain, if it’s all the same

To you, insane, as we walk this fine line

Of time and space, of Mother Mary full of grace

Not a waste, of a song with a time stamp

ART BY MICROSOFT CO-PILOT

Chorus:

Back to reality, I studied the sun, the moon, the stars

The bars, the sidewalks, full of chalk and hopscotch

Hopping over stones, concrete blocks pierce my feet

To bleed, but I run from the speed of light

Verse 2:

Uptight, out of sight, to the morning light

After therapy, I recollect, I can decipher

Between the choices of life, to critically think

About consequences, and what they bring

Chorus:

Back to reality, I studied the sun, the moon, the stars

The bars, the sidewalks, full of chalk and hopscotch

Hopping over stones, concrete blocks pierce my feet

To bleed, but I run from the speed of light

Bridge:

In the morning light, I find my way

Through the maze of thoughts, I sway

Choices made, paths to take

In the light, I’m wide awake

Chorus:

Back to reality, I studied the sun, the moon, the stars

The bars, the sidewalks, full of chalk and hopscotch

Hopping over stones, concrete blocks pierce my feet

To bleed, but I run from the speed of light
