I Dream of a Better Life

I think my dreams keep me sane, I dream of happiness, a life without pain. But in that second, it took me to just think, My life could change, faster than a blink. Now I’m drowning in my tears, Not trying to be defeated by my fears. Then once in a blink of an eye, You'll soon realize it was all a lie. No sunshine to light my way, But I do have two bended knees to pray. So I'll cherish and take nothing for granted, I’m not saying that things shouldn't be chanted. I do believe space devours time without our consent, And hides the reality that our dreams were once spent. I feel the real world is more like a nightmare. A forgotten place where nobody seems to care. But the moment my eyes are closed dreams come and take me. Now I can be anything and anyone, now I’m at peace and free. My dreams are long like a trip to eternity, No matter what it be, a nightmare or a fantasy. It seems better then life. To be rid of stress, mayhem, and strife. Remember where your thoughts all run together, Just don’t get caught in your dreams forever.
