"reality becomes painfully apparent"
Sounds like my state when I woke up this morning at 1:48pm.
"Stoically drifting thru various trials"
Sounds like the fact that I rarely blink at misfortune. Although I see that you are pinning dreams against what we believe to be real, this particular line reminds me of how my own heart responds to real-life adversity.
I haven't had a nightmare in quite some time... I don't know if I can say that I've had a great dream either.
Not a bad piece. I commiserated, and looked outside of my normal scope. Two things that fail to happen with a lot of art. Rock on!
Thanks
