On Screen Life

Happening on a flickering screen
An indie film unknown
Perfect and real

And I don't know
How it happened
Why it happened but I
Hope it's right

Romanticism in the strangest ways
Unexpected... and is that why
It is so amazing that I

Dance
Up and down on a high
The words are shy to leave
My mind for they don't
Understand this new freedom

Because
This doesn't
Doesn't really happen
Does it?

Yes. This is an affirmation
And it better be real
Falling under pressure
Does too much rest
On this?
