Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

I have a mother
only she isn't really here
she plays pretend
and makes me believe
she really loves to bug me
but she doesn't really love me

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

I have a boyfriend
he is always here
he is happy and never sad
and makes me believe
in myself, in everything I do
He honestly really loves me

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door


I have a life
that barely exists
my heart is broken and unmended
my life falling apart
why can't I just be happy

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

I go to church
I get lost in my thoughts
I write a poem
I pretend to be happy
I pretend to love myself

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

The reality of this
really is ... I'm not
truly loved,
I have no mother
she was just given a title

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

the reality is
I am unhappy,
I am lost,
I want to run away
I love you
but why don't you love me

Reality...
Check yourself at the door
keep away from here
reality is not wanted here
a begining with an end
check yourself at the door

Kellie, Well you just voiced how you really feel and I liked it a lot.
I think you are very wise in seeing what your need is, and taking action.
Good for you! Hope to see more of your poems.

Take Care,
Pat
