SOMEONE ELSE’S DREAM…
~
For most of my life,
I’ve found myself,
living someone else’s dream.
~
Aspiring towards,
material things.
Chasing glitter and gold.
~
I never took the time to see,
that this would do me harm.
~
Following the path,
others trod.
Not the one meant for me.
~
I’d rather have peace,
and a walk in the sun.
Than rewards I really don’t need.
~
The riches that matter,
kindness and love,
ignored for way too long.
~
It’s time I awoke,
before it’s too late,
~
It’s time to stop living,
someone else’s dream.
