Reality


by Shari Margolin (16)

A pile of letters never sent.
The thoughts of dreams I have lent.
A bunch of unfinished stories.
A life of untold and untouched glories.
The withering roses on the table.
Evidence of a living table
The fairy tale.
A life for the unfrail.
Enchanted woods filled with laughter.
The prince and pauper living happily ever after.

No one imagined they were one and the same
Until the realization of life's unreality came.
Though the pieces of the puzzle may not always fit
Change your outlook and you just may make it.
Some are shocked by the reality of the unreal
But the future is the result of how we feel
Or for those who believe it matters anyway.
So for reality's sake, hold on to someday.
