I’m a dreamer and reality hurts

I’m a dreamer and reality hurts.
The weight of world is crushing down on me
I know if I play by the rules,
I can make the world lighter on me
I can breathe deeply and rest
And be at ease.
But there’s a truth inside of me
That doesn’t agree with the rules
And it’s the only truth I know.
Would you let go of yourself?
For stability if not peace?
