Dreams Substituting Reality

by Bridgette   Apr 19, 2006


My childish dreams
Of our fairy tale ending
Of us getting back together
And living happily ever after

I was living in a dream world
Slowly losing grip of my own reality
Blocking out everything bad
And making believe my own story

They say all pain heals in time
But in fact, it only hurts worse
When reality wakes you from your dream
And your slowly dying inside

I'm slowly falling and falling
Watching my world slip away
Everything I've ever known
Is now everything I hate

Crying is my only weakness
But you will never know it
I'll just let you think I'm fine
And that I have been all along

Slowly drifting away
Into my own reality
Trying to block out the pain
So I can force this smile again

A heart stops beating
To conceal a promise
A promise once made
And never thought to be broken.

    Awesoem - the flow is perfect, and the vivid imagery is very strong. 'Crying is my only weakness' Ironically, I thought that this line was the weakness of the poem. Crying is usually used in strength - imagine each tear another stress flowing from your body. However, people may interpret that as they wish. Nicely written.

    Peace. [Sole]

    The last stanza was a wow factor. A the title is so witty. This didnt need rhyme or anything fancy in itself it was amazing. I loved this and I wouldn't change a thing....

    I'm slowly falling and falling
    Watching my world slip away
    Everything I've ever known
    Is now everything I hate

    That was my favorite Stanza to read! I like how in this poem you make an emphasis about the lost dreams, and it really makes it sadder. Good job!
