Kia Coady Poet Concrete

My Reality Is....

I open my eyes to see a life so unclear and untrue but
I still don’t quiet understand
because when my eyes are closed I’m in a fantasy and I see life
so clearly, but yet planned

I dream a dream of white roses as they lay on my bed
scented for my desire
but the reality is their thorns waiting to kill
on me like fire

I close my eyes to understand life and to see my heart smile
and safe
Coming back in reality my heart is ripped out of me as it
lies and shakes

My eyes are always closed because I’m scared to wake up to 
my own sins
I see in reality a good loving person, always has to lose
more to end up to win

I want my eyes shut because every things so clearer that way, no tears that way, 
fears that way, everyone will love me this way, I have no troubles that way
and it seems this way, I’m happy this way and the rest
of my dasy

My reality is… death
