Missing a Mirage

 

 

Sometimes our reality

Is just stuck between our ears

A place where we can project

Our every wish and dream

 

And just because we live there

Doesn’t exactly mean

That the rest of the world is playing along

 

So eventually

When the real world catches up

With the world inside your mind

You can find yourself a bit misty eyed

 

Grasping to something

That seemed so real

But really wasn’t-

 

Somewhat like a mirage

One sees in a desert

Except this mirage

Is not a figment of one’s imagination

 

But rather a real person

Just not the one you projected in your mind

And the aftermath of that reality

Can leave you feeling sad and empty

 

But how can that be

When what you are missing

Never really was

And your reality is just

 

That you’re missing a mirage
