Real Life

So this is real life?

Nothing like you pictured

And hardly as you planned

 

There are no white horses

And shinning knights

Just fast paced days

Followed by sleepless nights

 

Disappointing solutions

To everyday problems

Endless dissatisfaction

 

That little sliver of hope

Is always in the back

Of your always busy mind

Just waiting for you to slack

 

Beauty is found

In all the small things

This helps ease the pain

And take away the sting

 

These harsh realities

Will always seem further

To the everyday dreamer

 

So this is real life?

Nothing like you pictured

And hardly as you planned
