Boy, Interrupted
I
Have you ever confused a dream with life?
Maybe you've woken up, looking around for the people you dreamt about.
Or stolen something, when you have the cash?
Like that packet of sweets when you were young, or when you stayed on the bus past your stop.
Have you ever been blue?
Perhaps when your favourite TV show ends, or your boyfriend breaks up with you.
Or thought your train moving while sitting still?
You feel the earth moving around you, but your feet are planted on the ground.
Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe I wasn't.
Or maybe, I was just a boy, interrupted.
