Reality

Sometimes all it needs
is for you to step aside
and watch life go by
without intrusion, or noise.
It's easy, except, the silence
often comes to stay
Reality is about prodding on
once the euphoria goes away.
It's hard to admire reality
the way we adore illusion
But in the face of a million imagined sorrows
Reality is a mere delusion

I see reality being pushed to a side, while the emoticons had taken the center stage :)

This is surely the reality of life! Sometimes you are a mere spectator in life and sometimes this really works!

Finally all this comes down to your choice: blue pill or red pill
