VERSE:
When I was a little girl, the sun was always bright.
When I was a little girl, the sky was always blue.
When I was a little girl, I saw rainbows, rainbows..
CHORUS:
I always thought that life was fair,
I always was an idealist,
I always was a dreamer,
But now I realized, realized,
All was false
(GO BACK TO VERSE, THEN END)
This song was written when I got my first bite of reality. At that time, I was feeling extremely disillusioned. Earning a living, betrayal, broken relationships, money issues.. I suddenly realized I had been a caterpillar in a cocoon.
Many hard lessons were learned. I learned that, in order to tell others of your dreams and to effect changes, you have to show other people you are credible. I learned that in order to fulfill your dreams, you have to work hard and make some sacrifices along the way. I came up with a quote:
Only the people who are not ignorant know ignorance is bliss.
That's the state when you realized how blissful you were as a child, filled with the little things which you didnt appreciate when you were young. Realization hurts. The world is a mad, bad world! Yet, the crux of the matter is, I learned the ultimate quest I have to strive for is to balance idealism with realism. For to be utopian is fatal, to be realistic is bitter. A difficult goal. Nonetheless, it must be attained.
I guess Im no different from you all. After countless trials and tests (if you can say countless, at the tender age of 22), I have come up with this, and I found in it a development that has occurred within me:
Wonder is the sweetest thing,
Innocence is not.
Dreams are sweet,
But must match reality.
Experience is an asset,
Discretion valued.
A formula to live life,
In the least painful way possible.
If I can survive disillusionment, you can too. Dont let disillusionment get you down.
