Life without Fairytales

It wasn't at all
what I had imagined
preconceived or unprecedented

Proceeding through life
as though it was a given
anticipating a magnitude
beyond my wildest dreams

When falling from the clouds
so high...
not as soft as a pillow implies...
life hit me hard
and sent me spinning

Clearly, it was up to me
whether I sat there and cried
or gave it another try
For reality was not waiting for me.

  1. indeed, it is up to you
    what you want in life
    either you move forward
    or take a step back

    whatever it may be
    i hope you come to see
    that life is worth a try
    more than once if it needs be...

  2. Thank you Salitype. This poem wasn't written about myself. However; from vast years of experience, brought me to share. I loved that you came by. Please visit again.

  3. Love the lines

    When falling from the clouds
    so high...
    not as soft as a pillow implies...
    life hit me hard
    and sent me spinning

    It's the essence of the poem. Well done my friend.
