Reality is subjective 

What determines the validity of reality 

If something isn't tangible, is its realness effective

Imagination quivers angrily 


It wants to fabricate its own life 

Threading a person’s desires into their life without the aspects they dread. 

However, this sparks a strife

A world living inconspicuously in their head

Sure can not be real. 

For real things can be touched and experienced 

However, if their daydreaming feels genuine, what’s the big deal?

Made up scenarios sufficing for unattainable experiences leave them euphoriant


Disappointment is forgotten and replaced with memories that can be orchestrated and controlled

But reflecting when you’re old 

Realization dawns that life is about risk

Not resetting a scene with a brisk click

And those scenarios you foster deprive you of the feeling that defines life

An uncertain and blind force that acts as your travel guide

The unknown is formidable and invokes fear

But also exciting and worth the flare.

Tried to romanticize life but forgot to actually live it :/
