Is this where life is?

what is it all about?
the world outside the shell
i see light
its not heaven, its not hell

turning to look
what do i see
a charming picture
its not me

push back the curtains
bring down the facade
what u see now
torn, tattered and scarred

open my heart
my mind, my soul
whats the idea
it all unfolds

shards of fact
threaded with hope
becomes a world;
a dream.
as if today becomes tomorrow.
what it is,
is not what it seems.
