"Reality Bites"
What would you do when reality bites?
Are you going on your way?
Or will you accept the spite?
Harsh reality reflects the monlit night
And despite the ripples it stays
What would you do when reality bites?
Hidden behind the clouds is an extraordinary sight
Yet it's a sight that could lead you astray
Do you have the will to accept the spite?
What is wrong and what is right?
Is there nothing else we could do but pray?
What would you do when reality bites?
The world can be black and not always white
And sometimes we are not given a say
Do you have the strength to accept the spite?
Can you stand face life with all your might?
Can you return the colors to a world turning gray?
What would you do when reality bites?
Are you willing to accept the world's spite?
What is a Villanelle?
A villanelle (also known as villanesque) is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines. The villanelle is an example of a fixed verse form. The word derives from Latin, then Italian, and is related to the initial subject of the form being the pastoral.
