Waking

I find it hard sometimes
to abandon my dreams
and face the coming day

The world forces me to play by the rules
and I cannot embrace the fantastic
but only accept the mundane

It is true, then
what they say about those who live in dreams
for a certain disconnect exists within me now
if only a temporary one

It is in these fragile moments
that I most question my suitability
for this world

But as my mind sobers
from this detached state
I can see incredible miracles
in ordinary moments

If I could hold onto this feeling
the world could feel
like one big, convincing dream
and I think I would be fine with that
