Bum

You wake up at night, Heart filled with fright Sweat on your brow But it fades into nothing now Age in my eyes Shows how time flies Time on my hands And no one understands Listening to the voices in my head Doing what I want instead The beat goes on but the timing is wrong Who would if thought it take this long Waiting on myself, but once again I was a no show Listening to the music within, giving it time to grow What I once wanted to be Some of the fragments I can still see Tell me am I still free Time passes leading me to here today. Still searching for the right words to say Chasing off the memories of times gone by Dried are the tears that once fell from my eye One day maybe another to come I'll have to remember where I come from Till then I'll just be on my way Maybe I'll stop and see you again some day

Some dreams can be frightful. I would rather not have them, ever. Lol. Nice write, William :)
