Reality

Are you ever awake, but not in the present? A poem.

Today I woke up from a dream,
And it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
Because I was in a room, and was wasting my time,
My head had been emptied of any thought or rhyme.

With music in my ear and my mind far away,
Have I been living like this - night and day?
The dream - it’s a trap - I have to break free!
Have to open my eyes and finally see!

I remember now, this has happened before,
But the dream, it had pulled me back in its core.
Its voice is so soft, laced with sugar and honey,
Promising fun games and days which are sunny.

Are you trapped like me too?
You have to break through!
It only promises the present,
And I agree that it’s pleasant,
But it ignores our future,
And cuts every suture.

(I got caught writing in class :’) But seriously it was sooo boring and english anyway, english is easy. Besides… the teacher gave me a look of approval before forcing me to turn it off XD. Tbc, probably)
