Is a dream worth the cost
Of admission?
Melding new and old
Into one, more perfect
Whole

Leave the past
Leave the pain
Never suffer
Only gain
As reality becomes
All you’ve ever
Wished to be

False happiness
Edges out
All the fear
All the doubt
And the things that once cut deeply
No longer come to mind

But is this really
The life you fought for
Is it truly
What you survived for
All the hell you went through
Overcame
Replaced at once by this charade
A mockery of bruises
Scars and pain

The destination matters not
If the journey’s left behind
