Reality


Smiles & giggles.
Trapped in a world full of happiness. 
A fairy tale.
An endless dream. 
The imagination is a delusional thing that tricks the mind into thinking everything is okay when really nothing is ever okay.

Anger & tears. 
Stuck in a world full of hate. 
An underworld. 
A dream that is now dark.
Imagination is no longer alive. 
Smiles gone. 
Giggles gone. 
Happiness gone.
Good dreams gone. 
The truth hurts as the hood of the adults overpower the hood of the child. 
No more fun & games.
Nw the is reality. 
Responsibilities. 
Struggles. 
Work. 
Money. 
Life.
It took mine and now it waits for its chance to take yours too.
