Define Reality

Dreams are reality  
undiluted authenticity  
Yet when I wake  
painful hallucination  
tenacity shattered  

Have I ever mattered?
Conclusion skeptical  
not really shocking  

Supposedly impervious  
looks can be devious  
Regard more closely  
Elevate introspection  

My spirit decimated  
emotion annihilated  
I strive to exist all day

Failure come evening  
I sleep, succor for me  
now living my reality

Author's Note
Which world is more genuine - the physical world where you merely occupy space, or the world of dreams where you feel you have a true life worth living?
