I had a dream but I woke up
To find myself in this nightmare.
Should I wake up from it as well?
Should I, by now, have been aware
That nothing lasts—That nothing's real?

Should I be gone with no farewell?
For what is lost, and what is fake,
Would it be trying to bring some joy
To my dead heart or some more pain,
Deserves no thoughts, no smiles, no tears.

I had my share of hopes and fears!

I once had dreams but I grew up
To see what was beyond the veil.
Would that I could undream, ungrow,
Or unsee to stop this strain—
To take back all my stolen years.

What is Steemitbloggers? A paid or free service?

I'm still too new to define it, but you can read all aboout it here

As for the second question, I'd say it's free (I wouldnt call a lifetime admission fee of one steem a paid service)

Everything is just smoke and mirrors
Screens, shades, circulars and armours
Years stolen, will look on as witness
As you continue to paint on your canvas :)

Sigh... this was sad <3

And this is beautiful ^_^
Thank you

Beautiful...

Very moving, I enjoyed the piece. And you're right, nothing is real. For better or for worse, our singularly subjective perspectives alone form what we perceive to be our tangible reality. Heaven can become hell, and back again if you simply will it so.

True! Thank you:)

Beautifully written @hazem91 and welcome to Steemitbloggers! I can feel the turmoil of losing dreams while growing up too.

Thanks for the kind words and the warm welcome.

Provocative poem. It makes me think of suicide and the various reason people choose to go that route. Sometimes, feeling nothing is worse than feeling something. Thanks for sharing your poem. It's nice to share the feeling. #steemitbloggers

Thank you. Yes it is nice to express it in a pieceful way and get over with it. No one wants to keep negative thoughts in.
