Dream vs reality

My life has been mostly a dream
Reality so close it makes me scream
Lie at night, wishing on a star
The life I want so very far

Dreams are dreams
Reality is real
Life in a bottle 
A nasty deal

Return to the past
Make changes fast
If you don’t change yourself
Reality won’t last

Look back at your life
Learn from the past
Do not make the same mistakes
Move forward, do what it takes  

Life is what you make it to be
Life is in the eyes that see
One day at a time take it slow
Love yourself wherever you go
