Reality

A Poem

By lucy southgatePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

The comet clashes with distant stars,

Creating a blast so illuminating,

The shadow cast became ours,

The city’s chatter began undulating.

A heaviness dived into my chest,

When reality stabbed me in the back,

A fantasy is a mere test,

Of the emotional control we clearly lack.

But for that moment I was numb,

Our liberating souls were flying free,

Even if reality hadn’t of won,

I was in the place I was dying to be.

Reality burns a permanent illusion,

Of the strings attached to our limbs,

Pulling us into a blissful infusion,

Of all our good and all our sins.
