The fine line.

When we start taking our dreams seriously, life is bound to become ironic.

The Fine line

An unimportant question then, 

Its the only answer now.

It was so easy then,

It is so much harder now.

It was immaterial then,

It has become my pride now.

 A non-existent treasure then,

It is my oxygen now.

It was totally crazy then,

It is my sanity now.

 It was my happy refuge then,

Its what hurts the most now.

It was a mere distraction then,

It is my North star now.

It was almost Evil then,

It has become my God now.

What seemed so surreal then,

It is my entire being now.

It didn't belong to the jigsaw then,

It is the entire picture now.

It was a far fetched fantasy then,

It is my only dream now.

I believe this is something almost everyone can relate to. We might have dreamed of becoming something, but now, when we are sure that we WANT to be what we dreamt of, we face unneeded obstacles. Intriguing structure for your poem, but I think it paid off. Very good write!

I really like this. I can't define it, but I can feel it, and I like that. I recognise the feeling you've described, welcome it like an old friend, but I can't think when I would have felt it. Maybe it's just life - we all change. What meant nothing become everything and vice versa.
Great poem! Really got me thinking.

that is very nice writing. although you havent said what all the poem is about and let the reader get it by himself. the poem looks really sad but at the same time the way it was written makes it so nice to read. great work

A good piece of writing, what I really enjoy is the lyrical change of perspective implied in every line, a dialetical shift that creates tension in every couplet.
Good work.

Omg I can so relate to this! I was a completely different person when I was younger, I never took my dreams seriously, and they were just fantasies, as you mentioned. It is when I grew up, yes, life did turn out to be ironic, there are just many instances that have been ironic, and well, they say that life is full of surprises, right? I like the flow of thoughts here, the rhyming, the straightforwardness, it was just great to read knowing that I feel the same. And eventually, the far-fetched fantasy of the past, and the dream of the present, becomes a reality, if you believe. Great job.

Wow. this poem is great. A lovely write. It helps one realize some things that has been before and that is now. Every line is a must-read and each moment is as enjoying as each line flows easily into one's mouth. You've done a great piece with good lessons. Well done.
