Which Reality Are We?

Melissa Franco

Dreams are just dreams
Reality is just reality

Dreams are reality
Reality are Dreams

A reflection of a reflection
A bloodline within a timeline

What is time but minutes, hours, and days
We work the cruel reality and chase our beloved dreams
We power dreams and soon forget these realities

Sanity is insanity within the reality of forgotten dreams
Travelers of reality run into corruption and greed
We walk into dreams only in time to eventually become lost

Soon we forget ourselves in a corrupt society of sin
Soon we forget the dreams we once powered within

So what is a dream, but something that does come from the hidden realities
A family bloodline cascading through the timelines of the forgotten dreams
