Dreams To Be

Everything is going right   
The darkness is over now 
I won the fight 
It has been reached so fast
I'm still wondering how
It just blows my mind
Living this life
That always seems to go my way
This is where I always want to stay

Then I wake to see
That I have just been asleep
I always need to live in this dream

There is nothing but darkness
I cannot escape the horrors
Everything is going wrong
So filled with regret
It has been so long
Why can't I get back on track
I know that I am strong
Why can't I get past these threats
Please let move beyond this place

The next day I wake and see
It was all in a terrible nightmare
In life I must strive to never let this be

Now that I am awake and I  see 
No I am not superman
And living in a utopia
I am not left with nothing
And living with no hope 
I just can't tell the difference 
Living in Heaven or hell
Only to wake and see reality

I cannot live in my dreams
No but I must remember
Both the pleasant
And the horror
I can either live to strive for
Or strive against
These thoughts from ever coming to be
