a duck to the feet
The total mess of being too dumb to know what’s real and thinking you can be something totally impossible.
I thought I could be a superhero and now I’m stuck looking like a confused baby in a trench coat.
I had a dream about being a king and now I’m just a guy in pajamas with a broken phone.
I believed I could fly and now I’m stuck on the ground with a broken leg and a weird face.
