Dreams so sweet and ever so soft <br />Feels as though anything is possible <br />Reality shatters the Dream <br />Says “you have to prove your worth” <br /> <br />The Dream asks for no reward <br />How promising it seems <br />Reality yells at me <br />Says “not good enough” <br /> <br />Dreams tell me to take a break <br />“Stop trying so hard, <br />You’ll get there anyway” <br />The sweet voice like a melody <br /> <br />Reality pushes and pushes <br />Till my Dreams suddenly feel impossible <br />“I knew you weren’t worthy” <br />I’m suddenly determined <br /> <br />My Dreams coax me to rest <br />Assuring that there’s no need to try <br />I know better now <br />I push myself forward <br /> <br />Dreams are goals I wish upon a star for <br />But Reality helps me get there<br /><br />Monina Furigay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reality-and-dreams/
