I Need to Face Reality

Got to quit those dreams I’m dreaming
Go to someplace, which is real
See all my lifetime, as it is
And, not count, those things I feel!

I’ve been to most, those pathways
Could’ve turned, to left or right
Some, like the Sun’s bright glare
Some dim, as the dark, of Night.

Not always, thought it out
Which direction, I should go
Only learned, when I got there
Some things, I didn’t want to know!

But, Life is all about, learning
Though, we might not heed those signs
And, don’t always know, what to blame
Our sentimental hearts, or stupid minds.

Or a little of both. *S* Hard knocks or not, I still dream.

"don’t always know, what to blame
Our sentimental hearts, or stupid minds."

Something that is needed to be said, for sure.
Great write Abe.

"And not count those feelings I feel"

Mr. Abe,
Your feelings do count! Feel them, this is what keeps us alive!
Enjoyed your poem,
Ms. E
