Daydreaming
I want to tell you a story
About to two places
There’s two places that are
This is a place that never was or ever will be
In another realm of my imagination
Where my clichés comes to life
Aspiring stars walk the street
Looking for their BIG BREAK
The small and pieties try their best to imitate
Miss Monroe
Be greater than Miss Hepburn
They say they’re triple threats
Yet unaware of the trouble and strife
Most of all hard work
That it takes to get where they want to be
The Boulevard holds broken dreams
That never left the fluorescent street
When the lights dim at night
Crushed souls come alive
Giving omens to the next generation
To never give up
At sunrise the dreamers and believers
Rise with the motivation
Approaching the Boulevard under the
Guidance of the crushed souls searching for the
Keys to access the magic
To the door that will awaken a whole new world
Let’s take it to a new coast
Better yet, let’s take it to a neighborhood
Where colored royalty once walked
Even when no one else may have accepted them
Because they were tired of being on the
Outside looking in
When rejected we tell ourselves
“I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable”
Deep down knowing
Money truly buys happiness
And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
The nonbelievers constantly
Shoving pessimistic thoughts
All in their faces
Trying to blind them with negativity
Because they knew they were almost there
Hatin’ on us because we are
A race that never gives up
No matter how many
Trials and tribulations
Lord knows we’ve had our fair share
But we’re closer than ever
Even though we feel like rocks caught in hard places
But we know because we’re guided by
Optimistic crushed souls
On the other side, our
BIG BREAK AWAITS
But I am in a place that
Never was and never will be
The reality of this place is not like the
Cliché in my dreams
Stars on every corner, every street
You look upon
Clean, glistening sparkly streets
That soak up the western sun
Directors and producers pulling you off the
Walk of Fame
And you become sign sealed delivered
You’re theirs
Change your look,
Bam! Instantly famous!
Just like that
Eyes wide open in a cold sweat
Realizing reality
That this ideal dream of
Hollywood
Definitely is not the real thing
The only difference is…
My dreams will become reality
And never left to be an abandoned hope upon the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
