Reality.
Blurred and forgotten.
By the captivation of flitting memories
reminders of what was
breathing life into the land of imagination
creating a wistful womb
not yet pierced by the talons of reality and responsibility
where once was can become what is.
Tread with care
for this shadowy veil may be disguised as reality.
Once one becomes enraptured within it
you are entangled within its fantasies
oblivious to the cries of those screaming at you
to wake up
from this half-world with its sickly sweet dreams.
When will you awake?
No one knows.
It is up to you
when you are ready to take on
the burden of reality
and be privy to its joys and pitfalls
once more.
