Imagining vs. Reality

Hmm
I thought the beach
would welcome you
not shoot sun
into your eyes
I thought that
if you stepped into the waves
and dived under
you would see wonders
but I just see murk
I thought that
the rush of skiing
down a hill
with snow blowing
would feel like magic
not make you feel blind
I thought that
if you stood outside
and let the breeze blow
your hair
it would look beutiful
not like your hair is slapping
at your eyes
Weird, how we get
these amazing pictures in our heads
and then reality comes in
and switches them out
for a worse one.
