Dreaming Wide Awake

I thought I found peace at last
I thought I found the laugher bundled up inside myself

I thought I found love
I thought I found a beating heart inside my chest

I thought I found the one
I thought I found a forever lasting journey

But what I actually found was war
I actually found tears that I had kept for too long

I actually found hate
I actually found a broken heart, not wanting to sing along

I actually found a regular person, nothing special
I actually found a deep dark path, leading to a dead end of life

I figured out soon enough
That I was dreaming wide awake.

Those wide awake dreams turned to nightmares as reality overtakes the fairytale. Very well written. : ) kathy
