Narcoleptiphobia

Even though I’m scared to let my dreams free

I still have to face reality

Become a functioning member of society

And prove that I’m everything I can be

Look Ma, are you proud of me?

I’m going to be what I’ve always wanted to be

Not an astronaut, or a firefighter, or a superhero wannabe

No, I’m gonna be a fucking Mathematician

’Cause where else would this mind take me

Maybe I don’t wanna follow my dreams

And fall into another deep sleep

Of missing what I have

and knowing there’s more to be had

Why can‘t my dreams ever last

Well, this one hasn’t passed

But I know from my past

There’s always more to be had

A career with it’s own path

Separated from a dream I‘ve been clinging to like my last

It‘s not time to move on yet

And I’m not ready to move on yet

But when the time comes

I hope I’m not scared to leave this dream

And step into the real world
