Dreams are motivational
Dreams are deceptive.

The world caters to dreams, their deceptions.
Everything perfect. People in love.
Man and Woman, Man and Man, Woman and Woman.
There all so very happy.
They make you want it.
Give you the faintest taste of it.
Until finally you realize it was all a lie.

The mad young man, only just realizes.
His dreams are a lie. His future not what he wants.
His life meaningless. Working for a dream that doesn’t exist.

No reason to be angry. Can't tell anyone.
They call you insane; pump you with Prozac,
Till you’re so numb the dream returns.

Is there anyone who lives their dream?
The man they see themselves at 16,
Is who they are at 35.

Does it ever come true?
Can you possibly make it?
Maybe you can, but it’s too bad
Because it all needs to start with a promise.

For years I had dreamed of a relationship with this one boy in particular. Now that I am with him I realize that dreams provoke blindness. You are so set on what you want that you don't realize what you need. You don't realize what hurts you.
