My life filled with a fantasy,

of a future with you.

The fulfillment of my dreams,

happily ever after with you.

A boy chasing his princess.

In our own little home

with our own little children

and our own little dog.

It’ll all be perfect.

Until reality hits.


Witnessing the vacantness of reality,

without you in it.

The dreams I once had filled with satisfaction,

now is left in ruins.

A man fantasizing about an unrealistic notion.

In his so called home

with the children he always wanted

and the dog he’ll never own.

It’s devastating.

Noticing that all his fantasies will never become reality.


The author's comments:

This poem is about the idea of True and False. In this piece, the false is the fantasy, which is throughout the first stanza. The true is the reality of this story, which takes place in the second stanza.
