[old] On the Other Side of the Wall

I published this poem five years ago on May 30, 2008, with the description: "I woke up from a dream, and I don’t consider it a dream… it was real."  I think poems are dreams given form.

If we believe in fantasy and happily ever after,
What on earth would life be like if all we had was laughter?
Would we know of challenges if there wasn’t a challenge at all?
Would we know how to stand up if we've never had a fall?
Would we ever learn what's right if we've never made mistakes?
If happiness were only for one day, for what do we stay awake?
So if we believe in fantasy and happily ever after.

Think again for this world's not only for laughter.
