Dream Vs Reality

I really hate reality
i just want to dream.
go where it doesn't hurt to smile
and stay there for awhile.

Reality for me is a stab in the back
where the pain is real, and smiles i lack.

Mornings almost here
still i have not slept.
laid awake all night
and slowly wept.

I WANT TO DREAM!

Instead of dreams find some one you can relate to and talk to... then the dreams may come... with time. You are not alone. There are others out there like you. Have heart. Have hope. Don't dwell on what can't be changed at the moment. Start planning for a better tomorrow. It will come with work and time... Even if slowly...

Does not perception determine reality? Peace
