What We Call A Dream
This is what we call a dream
It starts in the night; you can’t tell when,
And winds itself around your subconscious.
It constricts your thoughts to focus on itself
And you don’t know what is real.
Rarely does it make any sense at all
But it has you fooled
Choking into deliria; your brain fades
To leave the dream with nothing
But the shell of a tall boy in a back alley
Who once had hopes
And dreams
He was going to play guitar,
And sing for millions,
But inspiration flew as his dream crumbled
Leaving him with a bottle and a cloud of smoke
We all have them;
Poised; they wait for us to fall
Asleep
So they can spring,
Grab hold,
And leave you on the streets
With nothing but broken dreams
That wore you out
And never came true.
The fact is,
And we all must face it;
Dedication takes a lifetime
While dreams don’t last but a night.
