Reality Bites

I wake up
Every morning
Wondering
What’s going to hurt today

I hope for peace
I will try to create

Always underestimating
My strength

Happiness hides-
And I run away


I wake up
Every morning
From nightmares
That are black

The bad
I will learn to cope with

Never underestimating
My opponent

Reality bites-
But I bite back
