Dreams Gone Bad

dew drops in life,
are a dreamers dream,
only hope of succeeding,
reality bites,
and hope is lost,
cost of life,
in a wishing well,
hope to bring,
a better life,
in a life of hell,
drowning and swimming,
life itself,
bringing back the past itself,
self indulgence,
the gluttons way,
balance lost,
between life,
and a better way,
justice and a dream,
only a dream,
wishing upon a star,
and a hope for more,
cost is great,
but we will sway,
sovernty is a dreamers way,
reality twisted,
mind is curdling,
and sweat is protruding,
classic thoughts of suicide.
