Dream of Days

You walk the lines drawn by others
You say  the lines written for you
You rest your eyes when your mind tells you
You find yourself when life makes you

Your soul is grown when your honest
Your dreams are real when your sleeping
Your time is short when your counting
Your hate is gone when you love

Is your mind the way you tell it
Is your gift truly a gift
Is your space truly your own
Is your message meant for yourself

Don't dream of days you can't have
Don't tell your lies to help the sad
Don't give your soul, its not yours
Don't try so hard to make things so

Follow your thoughts it's the only way
Follow the path that only you lay
Follow your shadow its always with you
Follow your pride it will one day save you
