I will finally taste life

I have never been a dreamer.

 

My dreams only reached as far as the ceiling when they

floated out as I slept

The future has always just been

a concept

An inevitable one that I had no ambition

to try to mold.

 

That all changed with you.

 

I am California bound.

I will chase after a

spontaneous life.

I will hike in Norway

Sleep amidst the mountains

Skydive through the clouds

Swim in every sea

Make friends with lions

Visit huge cities

Leave my fingerprints everywhere

Leave all my worries where I’m stuck living now.

I will meet people who will touch my life from

all over the world

and I’ll grow in love and I will finally

taste life.

 

Not only am I constantly dreaming of how I want my life to be 

but I’m setting myself up for a huge letdown.

 

I had no passion and now I have a surplus.

The miles I want to travel

and the experiences I want to feel

just aren’t reasonable.

I don't know what’s worse,

sitting in the same house day after day and being perfectly content

with unchanging unhappiness

or sitting in the same house day after day and feeling completely hopeless

because my dreams are dust…

I can see exactly what I want clearly sitting in front of me

but I try to reach out and grasp it and all I get

is thin air filled with reality.

An eruption of thoughts come together in the lines...the expectations of the world around you...yet the feeling of discontent...this is done with youth in mind...there is time and lots coming your way...believe in your dreams...if you're not dreaming than in fact you're not living...I would break up your one line:

Not only am I constantly dreaming of how I want my life to be but I’m setting myself up for a huge letdown.
