Somewhere Under the Rainbow

If life was a dream,

I would jump and dance

happy to be free,

free from reality.

Reality weighs a spirit down,

Reality is somewhere under the rainbow,

where Dorothy is still in black and white

and the witch's broom

is a lowly bicycle.

Wouldn't you rather a dream world

made of colors and light?

If life as I know it now was a dream,

and I were to suddenly wake up,

into a world worse than this,

where the witch defeats me,

and Uncle Henry beats me,

Maybe I'll want to sleep,

but now I can't decide,

the unknown?

Or this dream?

Life can be like a nightmare. I like the story in this poem.
"Maybe I'll want to sleep,
but now I can't decide,
the unknown?
Or this dream?"
Thank you for the outstanding poem.

It does feel like this sometimes. We prefer dreams to the reality because it feels better. Nice work

I'm expecting Leo DiCaprio to jump out at any moment talking nonsence about dreams and inception and what not :P
Really good. Pessimistic. But good. :)
