CHASING DREAMS

After spending my life chasing dreams 

It leads me to a never ending stream. 

A stream that flows deep and wide 

And at times it’s hard 

To take it all in my stride. 

 

Dreams give hope 

And yet I have none. 

No ambition, no drive 

Which would once watch me thrive. 

 

Life is a never ending game 

And at this point in the game 

I’m watching them play. 

 

Always searching for something 

yet leading to nothing. 

My mind a daze 

Full of all kinds of haze. 

Watching from afar 

Like it’s some kind of maze. 

 

Watching it crumble 

As I continuously tumble 

It’s a never ending game 

My mind loves to play. 

 

As I sit here & write

On how lucky I am in life. 

A life I dreamt up

built from nothing 

Into something

But yet now that I’m here 

It all feels like nothing. 

 

Always arriving at the same point, 

what’s the point in dreaming 

If dreaming always leads here, 

To an empty place

So full of fear.
