    Poem Commentary

    This poem is about my first experience in the real world and how I chose to deal with it.

    Illusion Gone

     In the beginning there was laughter,
    joy and adventure.
    Then reality set in, the mirage
    I had been shown became clear.
    I was meant to work 24/7 and
    never have time for myself.
    Told lie after lie and still
    expected to be happy.
    Ended my journey early but I
    now know how the real world works.
    I know now that this move was the
    best for me, it opened my eyes to
    the truth.
    I want all who believe in the
    company to think long and hard
    before they make the move,
    or should I say take the plunge.

    To me, this poem is about growing from a child to and adult. As a child there is time for each and every and endeavor but as the aging process goes on with age comes responsibility and less time. Some choices we make can end our childhood early, then reality sets in because hindsight is 20/20. Great write. I loved it!...........E

    Sounds like the reality of the streets, forced to sell yourself and be avaialble 24/7, before getting out. Deeper thought may find something else, be well k
