Dreams

All my life i fought for a Dream. 
Dreams, that werent mine
 Dreams, that i never dreamt
Dreams,that never kept me awake
I fought and fought and fought
I toiled and toiled and toiled 
And I pushed through
For a dream i never cherished
A dream i never saw myself in,
A dream dreamt by someone else.
And i lived in someone else's dream,
For all my life, i fought for someone else's dream
When mine were buried six feet deep
