I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream
But my dream stuck in an hourglass
I cry, I cry
As I stare at my own leap of sands

You, poor soul of mine!
Pen the prelude in the pack of the stars
Patiently wait until it becomes like one
And itself, bring home the sunrise
To my gloomy visage and weary heart

Give me the fruit of success
Oh! Poor soul of mine!
Tomorrow might not say, "Hello"
Better undress your mind from all negativities
Feed your thoughts with beautiful sceneries
Drop off--- that laziness
It destroys and kills the entire YOU

I am the DREAM you claimed your Better half
But when will you free me from the hourglass?
Almost, but you've never been here
Long have I waited you
You will never know how far I could take you to
Unless you go the distance
And chase me 'til I'm all yours
