One Hundred Dreams

Written 2011

I've thought too long--

Too long on the things that I once thought were important...

What was the truth?

The meaning behind why I am who I am?

Who am I?

Why am I?

I reach out--

Can anyone really hear me?

Does anyone really care?

I'm so very tired...

I want to sleep--

Sleep away the past,

And maybe the pain with it...

I want to sleep--

One hundred years of sleep,

One hundred tears today,

One hundred years of sleep--

And nothing will have changed,

Today is tomorrow--

Tomorrow is yesterday come again...

One hundred years passing by,

The future is a lie,

The past on my mind,

In the present I lie,

One hundred years to sleep,

One hundred years to dream.
