appearance vs reality

Two realms appear as suggestions of your path
You pick one and can't go back
One side dreams and the other side schemes
One side is a fantasy and one side is a healing remedy
That one breath was brief,
and silence never had broken.
The soul is smaller
than the strange, dark
eyes of the dead.
Is it real?
Real...
Oh,
Wait
Slow it down
Stop
Let my mind catch up
Ache
Something missing
Burn
My lungs squeeze helplessly
For the land of the free?
How can that be,
When education and dreams are for the wealthy?
To gain a college education,
You must pay.
The price is not one
that most can afford.
You are dead but you are acting alive
Eating brains but not gaining knowledge
So how are you expected to survive?
Do you really think the truth is sublime?
How are you expected to go to college?
Imagination
As endless as an universe but as dark as a black hole
It’s there in my dreams but gone when I’m awake
There is a jubilant side but also a melancholy side
mine is the house with the jungle yard,where snakes may catch you off your guard,but the snakes eat the rodents and the birds eat the bugs,and i peak at the school bus through a wet shrub,
