Sleep Without Dreams

Keeping up appearance,

Dancing the dance of the socialite,

Hanging on shallow words

Meant to impress,

Breathing the corporate mantra,

Hmmm… ya ya hmmm… ya ya hmmm.

Day in

Day out,

Days flow by unyielding.

Not my own…

Someone else’s vision,

Someone else’s profit.

Someday soon I’ll spread my wings,

Plot my course,

Find my way.

This nine to five existence

Is like sleep without dreams;

Restores the body

But does nothing for the soul.

But I want to dream…

I have a dream,

And someday soon…

Someday…

Soon.
