Life seems to always slap you in the face

Even when your knees have already hit the ground

I’ve decided to stop reaching to the skies and trying to catch a dream

A dream that I know is never going to come true

There are no sunny skies, green pastures, or rainbows passing by

There is just me, and just you, coexisting in the world that is around us

I used to believe in miracles and happiness

But every time I seem to get them they get taken away

I only have what I hold now and dreams won’t keep it here

Faerie tales are better left for stories

Dreams are better left for night

I’ve opened my eyes to the world around me

And all I ever discover is disappointment and pain

With the few small things that still bring me some happiness

I will always hold them close

Keep them here beside me and never let them go
