Dreams of a better life will they ever come true <br />Or are they to remain a myth, <br />A strange fairy tale <br />Lost in our sleep <br /> <br />Awakening to the facts <br />Can’t deny what happens when awake <br />Is so much harder to take than our dreams <br />Oh to sleep forever <br /> <br />Imagine a life with sweet perfection <br />No fights or pain <br />No unfulfilled desires <br />Everything you could ever want <br />There for you to have <br /> <br />The myth of dreams <br />The hard facts of awakening <br />When can I make my dreams a fact? <br />Maybe when I sleep forever.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-myth-or-fact/
