One foot steeped in reality
the other testing the waters on the other side
The side where fantasy comes alive
And there is truth in dreams
A world of possibility that tempts and taunts
where dreams, once thought dead,
are resurrected in full force
The power of perhaps shades all views
It beckons to follow as it flutters beside
Reflecting all the things ever wanted
the shackles of reality feel like a lead weight
tethering you to who you never wanted to be
Responsibility removes true choice
Yet dreams yearn for release
Opportunity bangs the door down
and shakes the shackles free
Left between shadow and light
Lost between the good of both sides
split in two by desire and need
time stands still in purgatory
