reality

A thousand and one things on my mind.
My brain is overworked and over-used.
Yet, my heart seems to dictate my actions and my feelings.
The rational considerations just do not stand up to scrutiny.

Refusing to acknowledge the hurt and pain experienced in the past.
Unwilling to concede that the dream has ended.
Reveling in the idea of limitless possibilities.
Yet, fearing the consequences of failure and defeat.

Ahh, the myriad of issues.
The past, the present and the future.
Unknowns, that intriguing element.
Idealism, the undying contradiction in this reluctant realist.
