Everything is an Illusion
Everybody Settles with Illusions
But I'm Not Everybody
Some People Tell Lies, In Order to Believe
But I'm Not Some People
I Refuse to Settle with Illusions
I'm Willing to Wait for Something Real
It Might Take a While
But It Will Be Worth It
Because What I Will Find
Will Be Real
Not An Illusion

The author's comments:
Sometimes it's hard to differentiate truth from lies & reality from fantasy. Only way to get through is to wait & hope for the best.
