Growing Up
I can not see to see
What I just might be
An artist, a doctor, an athlete, or what?
All I need is will, and a little bit of luck
When I was eight years old i dreamed
I let my imagination soar
The world had many paths
And oh so much more
But now that I am twice that age
My hopes begin to die
For all numbers are much greater than
Imaginative lies
Lies will get you no where, see
Although, I failed to see
Delusions clouded perception
Of my reality
So on and on, I told these lies
to no one else but me
Dreaming, scheaming, many things
which would never come to be
Life is simply all too dull
There must be fantasies
One hopes and tries to make a spark
They can not let it be.
But I am one of these many
for which I often speak
I often cant accept the truth
Because it's sad and meek
And saddness is the root of this
from which I cant escape
The trunk of this absorbs the tears
And leaves are filled with hate.
