REALITY vs. DREAMS

We can't always have what we want, and some times it just isn't fair.

What do you do?

When you find yourself living one and dreaming another?

To dream of what you thought you didn’t really want,

However deep within our hearts we know it’s different.

But the reality is that we can only live one thing.

 We live what we think we want,

 We dream of what we know we want.

However reality is very different from our dreams,

But there are brief seconds

 where dreams seem like they could come true.

The seconds where you’re entranced by the thing you know you shouldn’t be thinking about.

And there’s the simple thought

“Maybe my dreams are really going to come true.”

The times that touch us,

 to the point where we’re shaking and are just short of breath.

You’re in the clouds thinking about all your dreams.

 Maybe here and there you get your dreams and reality mixed up a little.

Your find yourself still shaking when you get home because you can’t get the image out of your head.

Right after that is when your phone goes off,

and the cage of reality’s steel bars come crashing down around you.

Locking the dreams out,

 or at least till you lay down at night to sleep once again.

But it’s all okay,

because in some aspects the reality is just as good as the dreams.

The only bad thing is…

Our hearts break so much easier in reality than in our dreams.

For our dreams are full of a love and hope,

that just isn’t allowed outside of the mind.
