The streets are not paved in gold
Diamonds don’t fall from above
Peace does not leave everyone smiling
This is no utopia
This is real life
And it hurts
It angers
It hates
It discriminates
It drives out happiness
It has left me in the shadows
Alone and filled with depression
I feel I will never be able to defeat
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – utopia
Leigha Robbins 
The real world is certainly not utopia.
A beautiful poem Leigha.
