I traveled miles chasing a dream
learned a new language
changed my ways
endured misunderstandings, humiliation, fear
learned new tricks
saved old ones
I sacrificed the most precious to chase a dream
put my ambitions on hold
nurtured others and made them happy
forgot to make myself happy
I’ve withstood neglect for chasing a dream
question my value system
question myself
I’ve been adored and blown off
held up with delicate hands
and then thrown to the curb
I gave it all up to chase a dream
gave it all up
and today it dawned
dawned on me
that that silly dream
God forsaken dream
God damned dream
that messed up dream
will never come true
that I will always be alone
that I will always be alone
and today it dawned
that it’s OK
and it’s OK
enough with dreams
I’m awake now.
