Reality

Reality is so boring, we crave the fantastic

The magic, the wonder, the dreams that enchant us

But are we really lazy for wanting to escape

The mundane routine, the ordinary landscape?

It's not the same, there's a difference, see,

Between those who choose apathy and those like you and me.

We fight, we strive, we persevere,

But sometimes we need a moment to catch our breath and clear.

Survival mode, we've been living in for years

Exhausted and drained, our souls lost in fears

It takes a toll, this constant fight,

To keep your head above water, to survive the night.

Fear reminds us, we're alive and we're strong

It helps us prepare for challenges, come along

Conquer them, don't let them hold us down

We have the power to turn things around

What will be, will be, a truth to hold on to

But don't forget to live in the present too

The future is yet to come, but so is today

Make the most of it, don't let it slip away

Reimagine the past, it's a tempting game

But it's better to live, not be stuck in the blame

The what-ifs and regrets, they won't take us far

Only the present can heal, only the present can be our star

To truly live, we must open our hearts

To feel the joy, the pain, the whole of our parts

It's what separates us from those who merely exist

And those who thrive, and those who persist

And lastly, learn to enjoy your own company

The person you can count on, for the rest of eternity

You are not alone, for you are enough

Live for yourself, that's when life gets tough

So escape reality, but don't forget to return

To face the world, the lessons we must learn

For, in the end, we'll find the magic we seek

In the journey, the moments, the unique.
