Reality Survivor
Reality is something you rise above."
-Liza Minelli
-
Dear dreams of pixie dust, It's a wake up call !
Comforts downgraded to grimes of reality
where battered and bruised,
life is no longer a fairy tale.
Where hammers break you down to ground,
abyss of darkling sky, moon has gone down.
sun has not risen to bright your toiled days,
smothered by pain you lie in shaking breath.
Are your stars bad? No, you can still reach them !
with wobbly feet
you scale a cliff,
ascending spirals of real life.
In a little island, bound in a fortress,
in a province of strong thoughts,
A mind dares...
to overcome billion odds of misfortunes
and save a drowning life with flailing arms.
to forge a heart in unwavering flames,
once defeated on tracks of dried tears.
and let courage win, fighting with fears.
reaching distant planets,
crossing endless deserts,
swimming ghastly waves,
marching thorny paths
there's always a shelter you find in the storm.
hard work in blood and sweat, bad days turn better,
there's evolution of a victim...to a reality survivor.
