The Way I See It

My world is a dream
Infinitely fake, a nightmare!
All my struggle and worry
It's all pointless,
I suffer alone.
This expectation of a
Champagne and Caviar lifestyle
Will remain an illusion,
An emotional glimpse of
Tarnished portraits are evidence
That insecurity is an extraordinary
breakdown of a persons
Psychological determination.

How about stop expecting and just take life in your hands and built your own castle. Sometimes it is tough, but remember, after the storm sun will rise. We do forget the strength we have, and don’t ever give up. Nice poem , enjoy the day, and smile:) Ellie
