Shots of Imagination

The horror of reality is tied to money,
the horror of reality you cannot wake-
The horror of reality makes my head spin,
the horror of reality? 
I’d just as soon run from-
The horror of reality you can’t make up,
the horror of reality you can’t unsee-
The horror of reality pushes me to indulge
the horror of reality 
with shots of imagination-
The horror of reality is quite enough,
the horror of reality is truly unsettling-
The horror of reality rattles your core,
the horror of reality 
sticks to you just like comfort food-
The horror of reality is demanding
the horror of reality be destroyed- 
the horror of reality 
you want to gloss right on over -
The horror of reality
with strong foundation..
