Many Dreams Later

I wonder,
Whatever happened to the wish
That I had tucked under my pillow.
Did it just die,or,
Float away to sky.
Or, it became a star,
That winks at me from afar,as
I get ready
For another sleepless night?

Standing a little apart from me,
Life looks at me askance.
Seeing through my pretense
Knowing I don't stand a chance
And I carry on
Nonchalant,
With my lifeless existence.

The silver foil comes apart,
Bit by bit.
My quasi perfect world
Stands naked.
The fears were never unfounded.
Many dreams later,
Many wishes after,
I find myself grounded..
