Dreams Sought

A war inside must be fought
                                    to find the purpose of dreams
                                    sought.
                                    Trying to put the lies behind and
                                     the truth be caught.
                                     Grasping for something, anything
                                     that will make sense.
                                     Inside her mind searches for everything
                                     but never finds anything.
                                     Exhausted from running the race meant
                                     to be won but always lost.
                                     Running to strangers but they do nothing
                                     but shun.
                                     Finally, the search is done after uncovering
                                     everything under the sun,
                                     She realizes and all becomes clear now that
                                     she needed not search for dreams sought,
                                     for she never had one after all.
                                     A war inside must be fought to find the 
                                     purpose of dreams sought.
