Reality...?

One day you're there, the next you're not,
You feared nothing, you had the lot
but a dream is shattered, a thought forgot
and then there's nothing, but, so what?!

You had the dream, you took the chance,
Not knowing that it would not last,
The world was yours for that split second
Until reality calls and beckons.

You drift, uncaring, day to day,
You thought you had it all your way
but as your life starts to go wrong,
You are left, and they are gone.

An empty frame on a nameless wall,
The truth hits hard as you start to fall,
What you had was not your dream -
Things are never what they seem.
