Theres a Fool Acting Like Hes You

When fate clashes With destiny or Your illusions Clamors with reality If hope and dreams Are saboteurs Then what happens to Your future; If in this life, you Cannot face the Challenges that Appear and You live inside Your head, Huddled up in fear In your own little World of illusions Where you get treated Greatly. You have become a King inside Your world and Your status is quite Stately. As long as you stay Tucked away- Inside the castle in Your mind. You'll never have to Meet the fool That plays you in Real life. There is a fool out here That looks a lot like you; He even he sounds Like you do too.! Could this fool that we Witness with our eyes Somehow be in your skin: Or is there a pretender Out there: Pretending as if he's you? We, your friends want to ask, Is he of some kin? Because it seems there's a Fool out there acting As if he were you... African Proverb says “You have become a King in the land of illusions While in the land of Reality you remain a fool”
