sleeping ?

sleeping ?

Thoughts are stuckĀ 
Words are swallowedĀ 
Not one for luckĀ 
Even when borrowedĀ 
My heart is achingĀ 
And I’m still waitingĀ 
But nothing is changingĀ 

I need a domino effectĀ 
Of dreams collidingĀ 
Instead they’re disapatingĀ 
The pile keeps on pilingĀ 
I worry to much about dollarsĀ 
And not enough about changingĀ 

So what have I become the villain?Ā 
I struggle to live and give everything I have to giveĀ 
Because I need to survive by making a killingĀ 
Killing of my dreams to make the man happyĀ 
When all I wanna do is dream and make my man happyĀ 

But no; I need to eatĀ 
So I’ve already sold my soulĀ 
For a some milk and a bowl of CheeriosĀ 
So I can keep feeding my insides Ā 
yeah it’s full alright - full of holes
I’ve got a roof over my head thoĀ 
And it’s important I knowĀ 

I’ll never take it for grantedĀ 
but some days I wish I could get away with a sleeping bagĀ 
on some hills with forget me nots
And worry about nothing but giving what my souls gotĀ 

Because if I were to die it wouldn’t be pitifulĀ 
Because sorrounding me would be peteled thingsĀ 
Who aren’t very forgetfulĀ 

And that’s better than a tombstone of gold silver and emberĀ 
Simply because all I’ve ever wanted is to be rememberedĀ 

My finger tips tickleĀ 
As I remember who I amĀ 
I wasn’t made for a careerĀ 
And a five year planĀ 
I was made for some much moreĀ 
Then simply being humanĀ 

I’m intended to be inventiveĀ 
And to enlighten only what I canĀ 
I wasn’t made to be a examined and planned into a program for manĀ 

My circuits are hardwired to only express
Reterics that are metoriphocal Ā 
I speak in riddles galore andĀ 
Metaphors that are rhetoricalĀ 

Simply putĀ 
Everything I’m thinking is most likely an illusionĀ 
I’m a poor girl who dreams of worlds soaked in her delusionsĀ 

It’s easy to forget when you focus on the regrettableĀ 
I almost forget that as long IĀ  remember who I am
I’ll never truly be forgettableĀ 

I can feel you through these thoughts of mineĀ 
In whatever universe in whichever timeĀ 
Tilting your head from side to sideĀ 
Thinking of how ridiculous the ideaĀ 
and how silly the linesĀ 

And yet... there’s parts of you that ponders
my reality calls and your feet move forward because you can’t help but wander Ā 

In a daze you glance into my eyesĀ 
They’re wide open; and take you by surpriseĀ 
Because maybe all this time...

Maybe I’m the one who’s dreams are worth keepingĀ 
Maybe reality is best when you refuse to stop dreamingĀ 
Maybe your eyelids are closed because you stopped believingĀ 
Maybe this whole time I’m the one who’s been awakeĀ 

And you’ve been the one sleeping
