Reality

When you finally cry yourself to sleep

You dream of how it used to be

Then you wake up and see

You’re back into reality

It still wants to take you in at night

Bring you down to its deep, dark light

You lay awake wondering

Why things are never as they seem

Happiness is only a fallacy

What will it get you in the end

Nothing worth noting down in pen

Always to be stuck in this scary world called reality

Where people walk along and not care

That our world, our people, our lives are in despair

Your own life, in crumbles in wait

Not knowing what is to be your fate

You lay yourself down to sleep

As you try to dream more peacefully

But now you’re realizing

Your dreams are also stuck in reality

The only thing that took away the fright

Has disappeared in that deep dark light

Again crying yourself to sleep

Its always going to be this deep, dark reality.
