this is actually a repost. the original posting was all kinds of jacked up.
Woke up early today, trying to find
A reason why I can't stop myself
From chasing the dream which,
For a split second in time was
Right within my reach, only to be
Quickly swept away
Left me clinging to nothing but
Another memory of when the sun
Was shining bright and the sound of truth
Reverberated through my ears
Now replaced by lies and contradictions
Of reality and morality
So I stand back far away and watch
As you slip into another
Of the blackest voids
Under the tree of rationalization
That persistence pays and
When you try, you always get what you want
But when you try to attain something
Not meant for anyone to gain, add another
Lost soul to the leaves of pain
Stagnant on the ground, aged and weathered
By the seasons of time and covered by life's
Mistakes and regrets that always surface when
You can least afford to lose one more time
Hold tight to your dreams
Because I let go of mine
With each day that passes
Memories are born and so are lies
That bind you to convictions and
Promises meant well but not meant
To keep you from living life
Without holding back and bound to being
What you thought you'd never be
And who you never can become
On a dead end road that ones goes one way
Never turning back to learn
What dreams cost you in the past
And why you should forget tommorw
And live for today..
Because dreams pass with ease
But right now won't go away
