the truth behind dreams

I don't want to be that person
The one that points out the fact that
shooting stars are just dying balls of gas
And raindrops won't wash all
troubles away
And time doesn't heal all wounds,
it just helps you to get accustomed to the
pain
And rainbows are literally
just a trick of the light
And some people are allergic to chocolate
And roses don't really smell as nice as
you'd expect
Pictures fade away
but so do memories

I don't want to be that person
who points out the truth of everything
But someone has to
Someone needs to anchor all these dreamers down
Someone needs to keep their feet on solid ground
The sky is no place
for those with imaginary wings.
