"struck" is past tense, so you need the past tense of "enter"
Reality struck while opportunity entered.
Or use the present tense of "struck"
Reality strikes while opportunity enters.
Reality struck then opportunity enters.
Opportunity (occasionally) knocks. Then you must open the door and allow opportunity to enter.
There's also, "Opportunity knocks but once."
And, "Strike while the iron is hot."
pleasehelp“ Reality struck then opportunity enters. ”
"Reality strikes, and then opportunity enters."
When you combine the clauses using "and then," they both need to be in the same tense.

What's the difference between Black English and Standard American English?
And black english ignores the proper rules of grammer. ("He done work." instead of " He has finished working.)
That topic would require a whole separate forum.
