Fantasy Vs. Reality

I woke up one night with tears in my eyes,

Saw some people weeping I heard some cries.

Saw the reality in my dream,

Fantasy was the real world. What it may seem?

Superman here, Spider man there,

All looking like clowns in a fair.

Hope I could be one of them,

But then my spine caught the reality’s stem.

There ain’t no Superman to fly you to school,

You gotta take the bus and look like a fool.

There ain’t no Batman who gives a good bash,

When you see the goons you gotta give the cash.

You are no Dexter, you are no good,

15 is the place where you stood.

In the movies the teachers are cool,

“Cool! What the hell, expel him from the

school”.

You aren’t no Beckham to amaze them all,

Only if the PT teacher; gives you the ball.

The nights are wow! But the days are “uff”,

Your happiness goes “poof” “poof” “poof”.

The Dreaming time; was always the best,

Horrible was reality and the rest.

But reality was real and I was stuck.

Thinking like that I chuck it all up.
