Is the reality you seeThe same for you and me
Or is it what you think
That tells you swim or sink
Perhaps it’s how you feel 
Is that what makes it real
Is it an illusion 

That —may add to the confusion 
These questions we do ponder
It makes us think and wonder

We live our life with mixtures 
Some flexible some fixtures  
Can reality be changed
By issues rearranged

The dictionary’s definition 
Can confuse a strong decision =
“The State of Things That Really Exist”
I leave it up to you
To figure out what’s true
I use this word a lot
Thanks to this poem 
More confusion I’ve got?

No confusion at all. Your reality and my reality are not the same. Though we may sometimes confuse reality and fantasy, that is most likely because of wishful thinking, which can sometimes lead to illusion and delusion. Am i adding more to your confusion? But the fact is this; we each create our own reality through the choices we make. Another thought provoking piece. Love it! 💜

Answer 🦋the only thing completely real are fixed objects- trees-buildings-people etc. Everything else is open to interpretation- impressions and beliefs Thus our own reality is often defined as REAL reality which it is not 🦋WHEW🦋
