Reality Of Reality Poem by Michaella Phillips

Reality Of Reality

Rating: 5.0


When people say ‘reality check’
I think of depression and struggle,
Those two words: depression and
Struggle well they pretty much sum up
My life because every day is a struggle with depression

And I guess that is the reality of reality
When you get that feeling of
A slap across the face as if to say
“Hey my life wasn’t easy so why can yours be”

But with every struggle that is my life
I think to myself ‘what would I learn
If everything was given to me on a silver
Spoon’ I have fought every day with
Depression, struggling through it
And now I want to forget what
Hurt me but never forget what it taught me.

Now I realise that life is never easy for those who dream.
