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
