Reality

When I was a kid

I used to, at times,

Live in a make-believe world,

That was purely my imagination.

 

I can not relive them

Or wonder what it was.

It was just fun living a dream

That you knew was not real.

 

Then someone woke me up

And life was not the same.

Funny how dreams disappear,

And relality must be faced.

It was a little confusing when you said that "life was just the same." I got the impression that you meant it was like the dream fantasy life. Or, it could mean that it was just normal and not at all like your fantasy of what life would be.

I think kids who grow up alone a lot are more inclined to have imaginary lives with imaginary playmates. When I woke up every day, I may have had a dream during the night, but my twin brother and I would immediately engage in play as soon as breakfast was over. We did play war and cowboys and Indians, knights and other characters, but never really fantasy just trying out our skills in these roles.

Nothing wrong with living in that world of imagination as to be honest I still do it to de-stress and relax myself, and further honesty, I do it ALOT! I was just talking to my girlfriend about you today but do you think I could remember your last name, NO, I had to look it up here...too many names floating around in my head filled with the haze of the pot I smoke...:) -e-

Oh God, yes. I loved being young and cared for, but sometimes a dream was EVERYTHING to me. Waking up was so absolutely the wrong thing for me to do during those dreams. They could have made me, but did they still? I guess I am but a dream in physical form, and when I go away somehow someone will be faced with missing me. I hope they will remember happiness and become dreams as I dreamed. Reality is a conflict of interests.
