Reality-Hunt

See, something is going on with me. 
I'm still trying my hardest to figure out what it could be. 
It's been so long since I was able to see 
I've become blind to the realness of reality. 

You loved me, or so you said. 
Fantasies of what love could be filled my head. 
I asked God if it could be true before I went to bed. 
Proved to be dead, the dream of an actual love turned up dead. 

Thought that I could do it all. 
Beat down by the "perfect life" call. 
Wanted to rule everything, and I was once on the ball, 
But sadly, it's not a fact, and on my belly I now crawl. 

To the curb of life, I constantly was kicked. 
It was simply too much to see, so I got sick 
With the sights of how low the light came from the lit wick 
Of the vision I should seek. Hit me harder than a brick. 

Living a life in the land of dreams, it just cannot be so. 
Stepped out there, and broke a couple of toes. 
Not one to just sit back on the row. 
Getting out there to seek reality some mo'. 

If, at any point, you are looking crazy at me, 
I have come to know that you have failed to see. 
I'm no longer flying in the islands of fantasy. 
Now, I am a bounty hunter, 
searching for that which we call reality.
