May 6

The sun is setting on this time of my life…
Decisions to make…
	Decisions to pretend I had a hand in making…
I don’t believe I can ever go back – 
to a time in life when I was so starry eyed…
a time in my life, when dreams were all I had.

Now, it is the dawn of a new era (in my life),
Reality… realistic thinking and doing…
	No more far away dreaming, no more fantasies of a life that will never be my own.

The reality of the game… the rules that we must play by.

Perhaps, just a farce.
Perhaps, not. 

Perhaps I still am dreaming.
If I am… wake me up please.
