I can't compete with fantasy
As I am reality
My heart is full
My soul is pure

I won't rob you of your hopes  
As you bob and weave
Against frustration, anger and dispair
Over where you are forced to be

You yearn for the bright lights
that never dim in the desert
While I bask in sunny skies
And gulfstreams

You want to gamble your soul
for a chance at the Devil
While safe havens beckon
You teeter at the edge of sanity
because of your talent, dream and aspirations

Time is your friend
One among many
But let go of you anger
Be played no more
Come home sweet friend

Sounds like opposites attracting here to me.
But, somne say that works.

A very good poem, by the way. I enjoyed reading it.
