Be.

All you touch and all you see

Is all your world will ever be.

But who knows if this is all a dream?

A figment of some higher dreamer’s dream.

But if we are all just a dream,

Do we not all still exist?

In this world that we are in

We can feel and think and touch,

And so even if none of us exists

Could this still be enough.

We think the choices that we make

Are things that we have picked.

But in the end it doesn’t matter,

Because we think, what we think.

But if my thoughts,

If they are not mine,

But from someone else’s dreaming mind.

Honestly, I do not care.

Because if I do not exist,

What I think is real isn’t even there.

If no choice is my own,

And nothing here is real.

Nothing matters in the end,

If nothing in this life is real.

But all they touch and all they see,

Is all their world will ever be.

And what if this is my dream?

If you and you and you.

Are some strange combination

Of some people that I knew

In a life that is outside this dream,

A never ending dreamer’s dream.

Because when you are within a dream,

Everything makes sense,

To the dreamingly so conscience mind

Nothing is false pretense.

All I touch and all I see,

Is all my world will ever be.

What if this is your dream?

What if you are really lying in bed,

And everything that is and has happened is all inside your head?

What if the past as you know it,

Is all just fabricated,

And ingeniously and subconsciously innovated

To fit what I just stated.

But if its so,

And this is all just an act,

Put on by your sleeping mind,

How am I to act?

That is not up to me, you see,

If this dream is yours.

You are the one who determines my words,

And decided who next will open up that door.

If this dream is yours,

I only one request.

Please, please,

Make the teacher cancel our next test.
