Reality Bites

I step up to the challenge to leave my world of dreams,
To live in reality in the stone cold solidity of the world,
Yet I find myself growing hard and cold,
My inner self languishing, longing to be unfurled.

 

I learn more of myself and the truth of reality,
Reality is a staircase leading nowhere,
It is in our dreams and our visions,
That we find the strength to reach for the dare.

 

So I pack up reality and stick it back in the closet,
I reach for my own little world with an ache of longing,
And I find in it my strenth, and my future waiting,
And find again my sense of belonging.
