This is dedicated to all the people who dared to dream, but, ultimately, whose dreams just remained dreams and quietly dissolved into nothing.

A fool indeed I turned out to be

For not heeding the warning meant for dreamers like me

For not being cautious of what lay ahead of me

And for believing that some impossible things were meant to be

In the end it was my silly heart

That got hit by fate's lethal dart

For it was budding afresh with hope

Thinking, that later, with desolation it could cope

The poor thing just wanted to be happy

And full of all things carefree and merry

Little did it know

That you reap what you sow

And all it had cooked up

Was dreams in a fragile little tea cup

Which tripped over and shattered 

Once it realized, in reality, none of it mattered

And all the dreams and hopes it had carried

Dissolved into thin air unnoticed

No one was more pained than I, the hopeless dreamer

Who was once again left to wander

And facing things that were, once again, grimmer

Searching for something to believe in; if only a sliver

Here I am, lost at sea

But I am a dreamer, this world is my fantasy.
