Reality is Just a Dream

this place we call a dream
is just reality kicking in.
we want to live a fairy tale life
and live happily ever after
but end up with broken hearts
and a life locked in a tower.
we learn to save ourselves
and not wait for someone else.
to expect the unexpected
because nothing is
what it makes it self to be.
we life life and go on
like we are all alone
soon reality becomes not a dream
but a nightmare that never ends
