Warning From Your Friend Peace

WARNING FROM YOUR FRIEND PEACE

I have lived a million today's
And seen a million tomorrow's.
I have slept beside none
Yet slept with all.
There is no one nicer
Than the imagination.
Because at least images don't hurt.
At least images don't walk
Past you with their head down
When you look back.

They say that fear
Is what drives one to be the way one is.
Yet I think it's reality,
That drives one to be the way one is.
Because people look back at fear.
They can't ignore it.
It's there, always will be,
And is what it is.

But reality,
That is something that is more than what is real.
Reality is the one thing in life
That is also not real.
It is the one thing people can chose it to be.
You see reality can walk by with its head down
Because it sees no peace.
Not because it chooses not to see it,
But because the fear is stronger.
Reality loves fear and what it can give to it
When it becomes their friend.
And once you've befriended your biggest enemy,
You are just as you saw fear befor.

But what you don't realize is that one day, reality,
The peace will conquer the fear.
And then you'll take note
To your biggest mistake of all.
Seeing only what you choose to see,
And not what was there.

But for now I have to live the million tomorrow's.
Which will be just like the million today's has been for me,
Unseen.
