DESIRE OR HOPELESS DREAMS

My mind often wanders
from reality to my desire,
and I find it hard to retrieve it,
back to the daily fire.

It let's me keep my sanity,
by planning for what might be.
But, I go a little overboard,
often getting lost in dreams.

So far I've found no guidelines,
other than those imposed by me.
Still these grow vague and disappear,
when I think of what could be.

I search for a good dividing line
between desire and hopeless dreams.
But society provides no answers,
and I ponder what's too extreme.
