PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You don’t like this reality

But it’s all I have

I don’t expect to be great

Or for you to love me

Though that’s the same thing

Your love brings me to greatness.



You don’t want to hear this

But this is reality

I don’t care if you like it

I don’t like you

Not nearly as much

As I love you

But this is reality

Love is like pain

It hurts.



You don’t agree with me

That’s fine

This is reality

I don’t have to agree with you

I’m not a sheep

I’m my own person

This is reality

Things change

People cry.



You don’t want me

That’s okay

I’ll live with it

This is reality

I can’t mold it to my liking

Make it an illusion

Or make me happy

Neither can you

That’s the way it is

This is reality.



Over time

I’ve come to the conclusion

That reality bites.
