Day Dreamer

They say dreams are real
So anytime I close my eyes, I make an appeal
With my hands closed, on the ground I kneel
And I speak so the creator makes my walk steady and not to reel

My dreams are big; 
But they seem far away
In its pursuit I try to dig
But the deeper I go, futile everyday

Sometimes I tend to swim in the sea of doubts
And as I drown, I look for ways to get out
I see those people I love to heart
Who do not help but tear me apart

Life gives me a lot to learn
The motivations you so much yearn
From your love ones to push you
Up there to your dreams, seem to sound like boos

They say dreams are the reality
But I sometimes think it’s just a formality
To keep us on our toes and thrive
Through this world in vain, even though we strive

So as some dream in their sleep at night
I dream awake, with plans, hopes and might.
