Days of Dreaming

Every morning I wake and wonder,

Am I awake or still dreaming.

If I close my eyes, my mind will wander,

and go back to imagining

all that could have been

and all that may happen.

Life is better in my head

Warm, cozy, and safe, in my bed.

Why should I get up today

just to do again what I do every day.

Life looked exciting when we were young,

But life for us had not yet begun.

We were told to chase our dreams,

But now they only exist in our dreams.
