Unreal...

    Imagine a world

    just like your own.

    Is that so hard to do?



    Now imagine

    that every thing you see

    Has no meaning whatsoever

    Every painting,

    book,  

    or show on TV,

    every shoe, or

    shirt, [or Ab-Roller,]

    or half-eaten cheese,

    has always been there,

    and no story,

    of any importance at least,

    lies behind itself.

    Is that so hard to do?

  

    Now imagine

    a world where you are alone.

    And your dreams keep you alive.

    And you hurt yourself now and then

    You force yourself to cry.

    Because you know this can't be real

    And you dream and dream and...

       ...imagine a world

       ...Where everyone's your friend

       ...And your decisions mean nothing

       ...Because good things happen in the end

    But just like that the world fades

    because it's so unreal

    and you put in an old CD

    and wish this wasn't your life

    

Wake up from those dreams

and realize the truth

Look at the "Real" around you

Is that so hard to do?

i am definitely a fan of this one, it's sad but i really like the wake up part at the end. and you shouldn't joke around about me critiquing all your poems, i just might do it... haha and thank you for critiquing mine as well, it always makes me happy when someone has any comment, even if it's just to tell me about their chess playing skills.
