I woke up in a dream again,
It wasn't like any other,
It was inheritely focused,
On who I am, or who I think I am,
As I pace back and forth in the bathroom,
Looking for a peace of mind,
Looking at the mirror I wonder,
Who is that standing before me?
Those eyes, those lips, that nose, that chin,
That curly hair, all of which is me right?
The sound of your voice,
The tone of your words,
The feeling behind the meaning,
The actions you take,
The rewards you give,
All of which are yours to merit,
Is it enough?
Is it selfish to demand more?
Is this me? who I think I am versus who I should be?
Was I meant to have someone by me, or many by me?
Was I meant to mean something?
Mother and father gave me endless love,
But who can I give that too,
Who is it that I should be happy waking up next too.
Or who's the one I'm happy to receive a late night text from?
Maybe it's all just a thought, a dream,
Maybe I'll never wake up,
Maybe I'll never sleep again,
I can't find the expression,
Buried deep in my head,
I woke up in a dream,
Still I wish I could miss somebody,
Even somebody like you,
Because it is you,
Even if we never meet eye to eye,
I still can't help but throw this heart,
In hope of someone receiving what's been given to me since birth...
Who would notice?
All my choices,
As we all deserve,
Our voices heard,
With ambition,
We can be the vision,
Together forever more,
Still we try and we fail,
What's the point if it only hurts in the end?
To make something out of love,
Why bother to even show your feelings?
To even show you are human?
I can't sleep in division,
We must be in unison,
Don't you want to be liked?
Although you say you've never cared,
Dont lie, not to me,
Or anyone else,
Dont tell me you're ok alone,
Don't lie to yourself like I have,
I'd rather be there with you,
Always be there for you,
No matter the weather....
