An Ongoing Story
Fill your lungs, inhale a fresh breath of air
and just relax; life isn't a questionnaire,
admire its beauty; it is everywhere!
A chapter in an ongoing story,
you pursue a chance for fame and glory;
a mundane life is not mandatory.
Pause time long enough to set yourself free
of fantasy dreams and hyperbole;
and tether hope to the now, or it'll flee.
Drinking lies and partial truths undistilled,
you realize most dreams don't get fulfilled;
and yet, Hope supplies the urge to rebuild.
Reality anchors your foundation;
yet, you're a unique sentient creation,
don't lose touch with your imagination.
