A Real Awakening
This has all been a bad dream
was this just a long sleep so real?
if I had been told wouldn't have believed
all of this life it seems was a steal
To think now I'm speaking fine
my stammer all that time a nightmare
struggle through school and all of life
it's been one big con, it's not fair!
An only child with no siblings to share
all of this dream was an allusion
this life wasn't reality it's so cruel
I've been robbed is my conclusion
My marriage to Jean, so very short
that courtship did it not exist?
then wed Christine 9 years later
twice in love, an imaginary kiss?
Now, this is a real awakening
is this just a dream too?
or is it real? how do I know?
honestly, I haven't got a clue
(This is written with the thought that I would imagine that whatever has happened till now was just a dream or a nightmare. How would I react and how would you feel? )
