easier reality

if my heart was a dog i held on a leash, the dog would be a massive, muscular, hairy, powerful creature. it would be an ill-trained dog, not the brightest, always running into trouble, learning things the hard way. i'd drag me into any trouble too, no matter how hard i'd try to dig my heels into the ground or resist, i would only be left with welts on my hands, scrapes on my body and branches in my hair. this would be the easier reality.
