Dedicated to the young man who used to turn my life into hell, but couldn't help himself to change his ways
Shut your eyes
And open your heart
Keep your dreams
Inside yourself
Take your nightmares
And throw them
In the ocean, like
Your old habits' deadly ashes
Embrace your passion
Like your mother used
To embrace you when
She cradled you
Dare to change, to take
The risk of unchaining
Your old self, and beat
Him up until he dies
Dare to be the one who
Embraces his destiny
Be the one who wants to
Dance with the stars
Feel the rain soak your skin
Till your soul is soaked, too
Avert nightmares
Embrace dreams
But how can you embrace
Dreams when you
Constantly clash with
The harsh, burning reality?
Don't think about it
Leave it behind
And just pretend to
Be living in a dream
