Do you dream (November 2004)

Do you dream of disillusion,
Does the sadness make you wake,
Do the things seen all around you
only leave your heart to ache,
Does it seem you only struggle,
while everyone ignores,
all your human needs and frailties,
since their problems are not yours
Do you rouse from your sleeping
and shake your weary head,
After five hours of sleeping
you feel you got no rest,
Does your life come to plague you
each night while you're asleep,
As all your woes and troubles
invade your peaceful dreams,
Is your heart cold and heavy
as you try to pay your bills,
Do you feel like nothing matters
or that nothing ever will,
Well, do not lie there quietly
believing you are doomed
If you truly wish to change your fate
your faith must be in you
Ignore all your doubts
And all those that give you scorn
Wake up every day
Saying this will be my morning
Things will get better
if you have a little hope
You will find nothing changes
if you only sit and mope
If you feel overwhelmed
you must decide to take control
See the good all around you
chase the shadows from your soul
When all the little negatives seem to bring you down
You must remember
you have the power
make a smile from your frown
Do not stop fighting to better things
Do not surrender to despair
and once you find the place of peace
HELP someone else get there
