I look down,
and stare at the dark pit
of all my lost hopes,
all my impossible dreams.
Depressed, I turn around,
I see a long hallway,
I believe it is my rescue.
At the end there's a door,
and suddenly I hold the key,
I run,
run as fast as I can
but I trip.
I stand up and realize,
I'm even further than when I begun.
But I keep running,
I keep falling and I getting up once more.
I cannot give up,
after all, if I make it,
I can finally find happiness.
At last I arrive:
My hopes, my dreams, my wishes,
all lie beyond that wall.
I rapidly rip the key off my chest
and unlock the handle.
Swinging open the door,
expecting the best and more,
yet there again, I stand staring down the abyss,
what's left to hope for?
Truly nothing is real,
my dreams are just that, dreams.
I let go,
spreading my arms,
flying free to a never ending sleep.
Happiness at last...
