Beautiful Dream

Life keeps moving, things happen,
people come and go, changes occur.....

and then there's ME somewhere in the middle of all of it.
Barely breathing, trying to find a foothold in sand.
I'm SCREAMING at the world to shut up for one minute,
shutting my eyes to block everything out.

This black hole I call living, just isn't what it once was.
Am I really here, or am I still in a dream?
Moving underwater at a speed so slow,
my last mistake just raced ahead and hit me in the face.

Who are you, to tell me who I am?
I never asked for your opinion or two cents.
I never asked for you to run me down.
All I wanted was 5 feet to think before waking up.

Emptying my mind, darkness fills the void.
Your words echoing from every FREAKING direction!!
The cliff you pushed me off is a long way down.
The bottom never coming soon enough.

Hitting the ground, red covers my eyes
Blinding me from everything I've tried to leave behind
Fading out, I Scream "ITS ABOUT TIME!!!"
Silence finally finds rest in my ears.
