Which Way to Live


Dreams are an awful thing,

Mice of Men livin' on fantacy.

Can't end well, only die brutally. 

Ignorance is bliss 

only when the alternative is this 

reality.

 

Which way will fare the best? 

It is hard to say

Suppose one must pick thier poison 

and lay in the bed they made.

 

Dreamers ride the rollercoaster. 

Realists sit on the merry-go-round.

It is easy to ride life on the highs 

but awful, crashin to the ground. 

The constant circle is simply mundane.

It does not inflict any less pain.

I am consumed by reading and writing, it is my escape and my outlet. Novels, short stories, poems, practically every literary medium fascinates me. Writing is my passion and I understand the struggle of not having an audience so I try my best to support my fellow writers. I am very involved on Wattpad and while I enjoy it, I am excited to have found a new platform to express myself and find like minded people.
