DREAMS
DREAMS
Dreams are evil
I prefer nightmares
They show you what goes on in here
Reflects what goes on out there
Dreams lie
They lead you down a path
Where white chocolate flows undammed
And mulberries fall unshaken from the trees
Nothing is less faithful
Less real
Or more untrue than a dream
And does every waking moment have to be so hard
I am tired of spending sleepless nights
Chasing hesitant tomorrows biding my time
Just to spend it mending broken things
That have no wish to be fixed
I will not spin and spin inside this skin
I will not mourn a future I never had
I refuse to bleed myself
For an almost reality rooted in the distant echoes
Of a once familiar voice
Chanting I know I can, I know I can
Because I know I can
Be the girl I am right now
Live the life I have right now
Choose to be the dream I am in right now
Maybe then it won’t be so hard
Just to breathe right now
