In Dreams
Harsh Reality
In dreams, I am free
To be whatever I want
When awake, I'm not.

While working on some content, I had a little burst of creativity outside the subject I was writing about.
This is not necessarily how life really is, but it is how a lot of us see reality compared to dreams. It is not unreasonable to try to make your dreams a reality, or impossible (well, the feasible dreams aside.)
Thanks for reading. If you enjoy this, please subscribe. I am currently working on a goal of a post a day (at least) during January (with the view to extending that).
As this is a short read, you may want to check out some of my other poetry like this one inspired by a dream:

The January Sky
January blue sky With crisp low temperatures Welcome to Scotland - Haiku time. So, in an effort to keep on track with posting something every day of the month (and year potentially), I decided to take inspiration from a recent Vocal Challenge and the view from my window. Maybe it's a cop-out by choosing a short poem, but a post is a post and this is all part of my experimentation and growth as a writer.

Quoth
Unnoticed, the clock struck into the next day. Before my eyes, as midnight came and went, the words on the pages over which I poured blurred together. Meaningless under my over-tired gaze, they looped around themselves, slowly winding lines of text twisting themselves into knots as I watched, barely awake enough to do more than notice the change.
