Reality

Reality became too harsh So I escaped with my pen Going back to my happy Wanting to relive it again I changed just a few details With my pen I made them real Erased the bits of sadness I added my own appeal As I polished the edges Replaced my tears with a smile I basked in the loveliness Enjoyed happy for a while Before me is the answer I can rewrite reality Pen and mind have the power They can shape eternity Inspired by Dinda Minardi's poem "Hi There Reality"
