What is your fantasy? Money? Power? Knowledge? Love? Happiness? Are these things truely nothing more than fantasies? Do we create these things as wisps of smoke to chase after? Horrifying images dance across our minds behind the masks of these fantasies. Lying, cheating, dying, they waltz to the beautiful mascarade of our imagination.
I have seen myself push roughly to enter their dance, to catch just a few seconds of this false beauty. I have cried for those that can no longer stop dancing, the ballerina's red slippers enchanting their feet until they can barely stand. Their pain travels like a shot to my heart where I cover my sadness with a stolen mask of happiness.
But, through all of this pain, sorrow, and manipulation I have seen the truely gorgeous dancer that is happiness. She is light and graceful, entrancing the other dancers with her delicate spins and dips. Her partners vary from the elegant sage, to the mystical dreamer, and even the passionate lover. With each she twirls flawlessly, never missing the beat as she finds the one that can truely help her shine.
Happiness is not a fantasy, I have seen her dance across the faces of the ones I hold dear. She can sometimes be fickle and only remain for a moment, but I know she will return and grace us with her wonderful presence. She can even hide behind the masks of sorrow, death and lies, testing to see if we will recognize her in our pain. Some may say that happiness is nothing more than a fantasy, made to keep us from falling into the mascarade. I will say this, if happiness is nothing more than an illusion told to me so that I will not fall it is a fantasy that I live and breathe for.



Felted a lil bored and was listening to some music again . . . durn you music! *shakey fist* This all just kinda popped into mah brains as I typed it.
I DO live and breathe for my small bit of happiness . . . even though she DOES seem like a fickle b***h at times.
Happiness just seemed like it would be girl, mine is a boy though (hint hint)
