My favorite place in the world

Is a movie theater

The thick taste of buttered popcorn

Slightly salted, slightly warm

The pitch-black inside the theater

Chairs rugged and worn

But as great as popcorn and lights off can be,

It's nothing compared to what goes on

Upon a movie screen

I've never been a big fan of reality

The real world and all its "wonders" have never suited me

But movies' kidnap their viewers

Stow them away in a mystical land

Complete with its own fascinating story

Daring and grand

Sometimes even after the movie

I'm always missing a part of me

Lost in their own world

A world of happy endings

A world wrapped up in a moral

But I got caught up

In my world of fantasy

Shut the real world out

And stepped into the movie screen

But the longer I spend in the world of unreal

The number I get, the less I feel

And now I'm at a point where I really don't know

Which is reality or fantasy

And which I call home

But every movie ends

At one time or another

The popcorn runs out

The lights flicker on

And everyone gets up

And life goes on

I'll always miss the movies

But for now, I'm stuck with reality

Perhaps it isn't so bad

After all,

My life might as well be

A Movie Screen
