Ending of a blissful time
Reality sets in hard
We run from it
And, try as we may
It always catches us
When we least expect it
When we don't want it
It comes anyway
Reality
It's almost an annoyance
Even the sound of the word
It makes you cringe in pain
Nothing good comes from reality
Reality
Flowers die
Chocolates bring caleories
Love fades
And summer always ends
Bills have to be paid
Loved ones leave
People change for better or worse
Trust is broken
Promise lost
And yet
The world would have it no other way
Reality
Welcome to the real thing.
