#WritcoPoemPrompt48


When young,
I was living in a world of fantasy,
I had built a castle of illusions,
It was a pleasant lie,

Then arrived the time for reality,
All hell broke loose,
Many delusions whithered,
My heart shattered into a million pieces,

Growing up,
Was like waking from a dream,
Unconditional love was mere illusion,
The fairytale concept was non existent,

Life remained a utopia,
A brutal epiphany has struck me hard,
Every hope has faded,
It was all just a facade..
