No matter what
it is,
or what happens,
I'll live;
I always do.
Sometimes I think
I can't
survive it,
then I reach for
the strength I have
been given,
sooner or later
I can get through
anything ...
Times are tough,
and keep getting
harder,
life's messier every
day.
When chaos seems
to reign,
and I can never win,
I look inside my eyes
and see myself within.
Dreams are just dreams
and don't bother
me with details,
I need to know,
I need to live.
Time and time
again, dreams
were all that were
my friends,
and now that I've
got more I
dream more
than I ever did.
