Tired Dreamer

by Anthony   Jan 12, 2006


My body may be awake but,
Life lived out inside a dream.
First everything was great,
But now all I want to do is scream.

I've been waiting to wake up,
And see what lies outside.
But I'm just not strong enough,
I can not swallow my pride.

Absurd things seem less whimsical,
Everything just seems wrong.
Played out like most things do,
Like a repeated t.A.T.u song.

These dreams bind me here,
no matter how hard I try to go.
My spirits turned to mush,
I've forgotten all I know.

Even though I'm still asleep,
My thoughts are burning me like fire.
The truth is that, for sure,
This dreamer is just tired.

    *gives a standing ovation* I love this! I mean it, I really do.

    The ending to this one is even better than the one I just commented on.

    I gotta start writing again, you make me feel ashame of my own stuff.

    If there's a vote that marks it higher than "5" I would have given it to you.
