I dream of times far ahead
Letting the future take control of my head
I force myself to be prepared
So that I won't have to be scared
I dream of days when I'm no longer here
When those who remember are nowhere near
I imagine being erased from existence
Of belonging in only past tense
I fear the beginning of the end
The time for memories to bend
An those who knew you best are lost
My absence risks great costs
For those who want to remain sane
Trying to win a losing game
The never ending process of life continues
Time goes on and you face new issues
It's okay to forget
As long as there's no regret
Allow life to fill in the gaps
Try not to live only by rules and maps
When loved ones leave
It's okay to grieve
Just don't wallow too long
You'll forget how to sing the song
That visits with frequent ease
Lifting spirits and trying to please
The lyrics of life flow freely forever
In any shape or form, even a feather
Don't let life pass you by
Know the truth from the lies
Sadness is here but don't let it control
The emptiness that lives inside your soul
So be happy again and spread your wings
Let positivity lift you and drive out all bad things
Learn the most and live the best
For life will always put you to the test
I dream of times far ahead
The times in which I will be dead
I force myself to be prepared
And now I'm living and am no longer scared
