Reality and illusion

If illusion is something you have in your head and reality  what you have around yourself
Did you ask yourself what did you see in your reality to have that illusion in your head?

Was it through the bed time stories you heard in your young age
Or was it wattpad fantasies in your teenage where you still engage

Did those images in your head create the illusion or something in your reality too
Would sitting in rain blur the line between reality and illusion so you could see through

Is illusion for you really money fame and luxury
Or is it in the collection of things loosing which make you worry

I am amazed if illusion was something shown to you by others
Would you be scared by the mud on your hand in your childhood as your biggest illusion

I wish the perfection we seek today wasn't present everywhere
So that the stupid illusions we have in our head would consume us to have it as reality somewhere
