At the Movies

After waiting in a line

And taking my seat

I send out a prayer

To those in charge

Please enthrall me with your movie magic

Shock me with those cinema thrills

I want to feel like I didn’t before

Experience what I never could

Dream bigger, faster, broader

Enjoy, scream, laugh, cry

Find inner true things

And know exactly why

I want believe it

That hope that drains me

I want to believe I can be

Become that person I need

I need this dream to be reality

So plunge me into your world

Written and filmed

Push me back into the chair

Make everything disappear

Amaze me and take me

I need this escape

Into my unreality
