The Reality of Life
Stranded I am, on this
Endless land that seems to
Never stop extending beyond my sight.
Do I stay or be
Heedless of the uncertainty and
Embark on a journey to travel this
Land until I reach a
Place of happiness?
What place am I in?
How did I get here?
Yet I know the answers.
Indeed, this place, this
World, is a place of
Inordinate things,
Simple things,
Hopeful things,
Terrible things,
Ordinary things,
Daunting things,
I knew not of any these
Except I do now.
Never have I felt such
Odd emotions in such a
Desolate place.
Only there are
None to feel.
There are millions to see.
There once was a child
Hopeful he was
Ever so innocent
Never had he felt such
Horrible, terrible, but strange
Emotions. He was
Lead on by these
Powerful feelings
Moving onwards
Ever closer to reality.
I am this child.
All of these tales come from
My past unwinding for all to
See. I am just a person,
Only one person, but I have
Really, truly experienced these
Rash emotions.
You will too.
