life is utterly a mess
that no one warned me about
sleep never comes
and reality hurts
but dreams make me fly
I wish I could stay asleep
when it finally comes to me
and here I am
sounding like I want to die
but truth is
I just want to fly.

I want to fly,
I want to soar
past where
the clouds
are no more.

we are all trying so hard
to prove ourselves
to enemies
who will never see
our successes
as successful,
to our family
who tells us
we need to try harder
like our siblings,
to strangers
who could care less
about our achievements,
to the world
who doesn’t care
because we are
little specks
in a gigantic galaxy,
why do we try
to prove ourselves
to such people,
why do we try
to prove our worth
to those who see us
as worthless.
