"Be who you are, and say what you feel. Because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
-Dr. Seuss


This is the real world, child.

There are no fairy godmothers
to grant your deepest wish
When you cry alone
While the rest of the world
joins the ball

There will not be
a flash of light;
All of your sorrows
will remain

Because this is real life

And you cry
but all the while
no one seems to
notice

And there shall not be
an end to that
sorrow

Because wishes don't come true

And magic doesn't exist

And your rags will stay
r a g s

Because this is the real world

And your tears will not be dried.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Really sad, but a wonderful job though! But I disagree with the rags will stay rags, and tears can't be dried, just saying. I also agree with TheComet, that life is beautiful somehow with it's ups and downs. But I love your poem still! You're a wonderful writer, and your words are powerful. You wove your words into a graet poem. ^_^ thank you, for sharing this!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson

This is very good but I agree with TheComet. It is rather sad to read this poem and makes it seem as though sad is a reality.

Oh I agree with that, life with it's ups and downs can be a beautiful chaos in some ways.  But I tend to focus on the more depressing aspects of it rather than the good most times; that's just one of my many quirks. But thanks for the comment, glad you liked it anyway!

Real world sucks, that's a fact nut sometimes you gotta admit that life is somehow beautiful with all the ups and downs. I think that's what makes the harmony of life. Other than that, great job, I really loved it. Keep writing ^_^
