Daydream
As the rain pounds against the glass-stained windowpane,
all I can think inside my head is, what from life can I truly gain?
What is my purpose on this earth? I honestly do not know,
will I always feel so hopeless and helpless everywhere I go?
Will I ever find the one thing, that will give my life any meaning?
Or continue to trudge along and wait for someone to come intervening?
Wandering, roaming, voyaging along,
The only thing that keeps me going, is humming to this song....
that's stuck inside my mind.
As I picture myself inside my head, walking along this lonely road ahead
I look around for anything, for anyone, some sort of sign
But yet there is nothing around me, not even a ray of sunshine.
All that surrounds me is clouds, and darkness
And the sound of the silence, cutting through with it's sharpness
The buzzing of the quiet is quite deafening indeed,
When will someone come save me, when I am truly in need?
Or will I forever be stuck in this darkness for all eternity?
The ground starts shaking, quaking and breaking,
I try to run as quickly as I can, every muscle in my body aching.
I run and run what feels like forever, trying to outrun the ground
from falling underneath me, and trying to suck me underground.
I am panting heavily now as I continue to run
trying to make it somewhere, so this nightmare will be over and done.
Suddenly, quickly, the clouds part from up above,
and down come a pair of hands and swoop me up with a shove
and I fell right back into the palm of their hands and said
"Where are you taking me? "Thank you, I thought I was dead."
The hands shook me violently and a voice in the distance said
"Hey, hey come on now...it's time to wake up sleepyhead."
I rubbed away the sleepy sand from my eyes, and looked up to see
My friend looking down at me, laughed and said "You were daydreaming and you fell into a deep sleep."
I cried and laughed and took a huge sigh of relief,
when I woke up to find that it was only just a dream.
