Maybe dreams are the thrue reality,
and what we think is real, isn't real at all.
Life could be complete delusion,
just an obscure doodle on some
school child's notebook.
I know that I don't really feel real.
I'm not so sure I'm even alive.
All of human knowledge...
erased with a number two pencil,
everything fading in a blink of an eye
on a child's fanciful whim.
Nothing and everything, all that we know,
imagination, a toy to fight off
a child's rainy day bordom.


 After all, what is reality anyway? Nothin' but a collective hunch.

~this was very interesting and
intriguing! you have put down some
very thought provoking questions. there
are so many questions to life and our
exisitence and so little answers. But
it is my theory that the power who put
all this into motion, wants it like that
take care.

~Hey there,...ooohwee...I hate to sound so unoriginal...but I have thought these thoughts....Not just thought, I think these thoughts often.  Does that make sense?  Anyhow,...super poem to say the least.  Well written. *Peace.

SpitFire - I think that we all have these thoughts at one time or another. You are no more unoriginal as the poem is. Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Daydreams become real
Your reality they steal
Where are you going
While the wind is blowing

The leaves are falling
Reality is calling
RING! RING!
Think I'll sing

Here I am
Traffic jam
I think I love her
(SMASH!! NOT ANOTHER REARENDER!)

I relate to this one far too much Effigy ... I love the way you expressed these thoughts, terrific comparison!  Somedays I just feel like that little hand "half erased me" ... really well done!

Best wishes,
/Kit

I thought I was the only person in the whole of the world that thought like that and am the only person I know well who sees that life is all in the mind, Now I see I am not the only one, thank you very much for being in agrement with me . Very nice poem .

Creepy. I like it, but you mispelled "true" in the first line.
