Lauren Harper - Reality

Solemn eyes realize what has been seen.
A hardened hard knows what was once a mystery.
Now that all is clear,
You long not but for it to just be a complex nightmare.
A senseless nightmare of a dream.
Yet inside you know it is reality.
Hard, cold, tough reality, as far as the mind can think.
Just maybe we can hide behind make believe,
To salvage any shred of sanity,
Before we sink.
