Tell Me
Tell me, not to break the rules
The things I'm not supposed to do
The words I'm not supposed to say
The dreams I'm forbidden to dream
The scream's I'm dumb to scream
The tears I'm heartless to cry
The life that this is hard to die
The world that I live in today
Is it really round or is a flat world
I've got wings, a pair of them
I can't fly though
I don’t have wings when I'm dreaming
But I fly like and eagle somewhere,
May be the sky
I may not be a great man
But I to have a dream
A dream
Now I'm in an ocean
I'm in full state of my mind
I know that I can't swim
But something inside me tells me
You shouldn’t even if you knew how to
There's something running against my feet
A fish of some type I guess
I don’t know what species that is
I even doubt the species that we are
In fact I completely forgot who I am
I look up in the encyclopaedia
It read '*****sapiens sapiens'
What does that mean to me now?
A tide blew me into the sand
And away from the encyclopaedic research of mine
