Reality kicks you in the face, <br />All the 'wonderful' things about this World, <br />Jump at you and bite, <br />In trembling and disbelieving fright, <br />And make you eat crow, <br />Emotionally, hard to swallow <br />Even if you don't have an appetite, <br />Reality must be faced, <br />But, Oh what a terrible waste!<br /><br />Sandra Feldman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facing-reality-7/
