Child

Draw back your curtains,
child.
Welcome to the world they call real.
It kicks you and taunts you,
child.
It tempts you and teases you,
child.
It loves you and leaves you,
child.
It desires you and needs you,
child.
It fulfils you and bleeds you,
child.
It knows you are fleeting like sound.
Welcome to the world they call real,
child.
Draw your curtains.
