The Pain of Reality

A sonnet I wrote.

The Pain of Reality

Is this reality for me and you?

A world for those who choose to forget dreams

To live in their sorry world full of adieu

Where to dream of new things is to blaspheme

If this is, then adieu to my friend!

I would rather live in a fantasy

Than to live in a world where I can’t transcend

This world is not for me but for a banshee!

But this is where we are  destined to live

No more dreams of glory and love in here

For inside we are all just passive captives

To the bitterness of routine and fear

Yet we discard our dreams to live in here

Because we all fear the unknown frontier

Author's Note

First attempt at a sonnet, please be kind

This a good job for a first attempt at a sonnet!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right in your words. If we can't dream and find new frontiers to conquer. What is left? Walk with the cattle into a slaughter house or run with the Coyotes trying to escape man fences and rules. The poem had a good purpose. Better to walk alone then with people with no heart or souls. A excellent poem.

No it is good work

[Joshua Smit]

not bad at all, i think it could do with a little work in making it flow better, but the poem itself is brilliant
