I looked around

eyelids were slowly bouncing up and down

up and down

heads were bobbing to the beat of their hearts falling asleep

The train shook our souls awake

The dreams we lived when we were children

became real once again

We came face to face with our reality

I put my hand up to my reflection

I tried my hardest, I tried my darnest to make this

become unreal

The person who I never wanted to become,

was looking at me, dead in the eye

I didn't have the decency to blink

I didn't have the decency to sigh

I couldn't think

But I managed to crack a smile

How did I manage to forget the days

when my imagination was what ruled my senses

When I could spend hours playing in the dirt, dreaming of things that didn't exist

When did I forget that everything that I could ever want, lays in the realm of my thoughts

I could conjure up any reality I wish

I could sail to the stars on a train made out of clouds

pick my teeth with golden floss

and run through a field of daises, with my pants off

No worries, no doubt in what I was doing

Tell me that I'm wrong, this could never exist in the context of our lives

I'll shrug your opinion off,

and go on and about with my life.

I'll run through the streets handing out sandwhiches,

with nothing but pieces of paper, placed between the two slices.

"This can be anything you wish it to be. Eat your dreams, like Thanksgiving is an eternity away."

My eyelids fell to the ground

and fell through the floor

Everything I was, I now am not

Everything I ever wanted to be,now I am
