Realization
When reality hits, it can be devastating and comforting.

I once believed that a community
Was a thing deserved by every human.
I would use any opportunity
To join this idiotic illusion.
At one time I thought that I could have friends.
At one time I sought a life worth living.
But, like all good dreams, this one ends
With a lesson most unforgiving.
The dream ends, and my eyes start to open.
As I awaken, I realize my fears
Are true and amassed to see me broken:
Remembering all of those wasted years.
I no longer regret the days gone by,
But I calmly wait for the day I die.

About the Creator
Josh Evitt
I am a former teacher, now a 'mandated retiree'. In 2007 multiple sclerosis entered my life and by 2011, I was disabled. I've never really liked the word, "Disabled." It sounds too permanent. I still hope to come out of retirement.
