The Chains of Reality




The Chains Of Reality

We can go astray,
Drop our weights and float away,
Lose ourselves to joy and play,
But reality has its chains,
Oh life is strange, how life is strange.

You bring me around the globe,
Showing me of roles to play,
The disparities of normality,
And you tell me I have free will,
But not this way, oh not that way.

What are these philosophies?
Psychoanalysis and doublespeak,
Complexities and rationales,
Questioning the dreams of innocence;
Oh cynic thoughts, what cynic thoughts.

You gave me a friend that stays,
You made me laugh, and smile, and gleam,
You made me dream of beauty’s flair,
A detachment from reality,
Only for death to claim, oh death she claimed.

We could’ve run away,
Crossed our hearts with joy and play,
Ruled the world just you and me,
But reality has its chains,
Oh life is strange, how life is strange.

See you at the bottom of the bottle, When you lose yourself to emptiness and neglect, Go ahead and cry your heart out, puke out your guts, Do what you need to deal with the pain of loneliness, Sanity demands that you keep your dreams alive. See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
