I once had a dream where I was loved.
I once had a dream where I was cared for.
I once had a dream where I wasn’t falling into a dark abyss.
Where I was cradled, treasured and assisted.

I once had a dream where I was happy.
I once had a dream where I was sane.
I once had a dream where I wasn’t crying.
But when I woke up, it wasn’t the same.

I once opened my eyes and the world collapsed.
Everything just fell onto me.
I was in denial, no I don’t want to see.
But the surrounding darkness won’t leave me be.

I once had a dream where I was proud.
I once had a dream where I was glad.
I once had a dream where I was free.
But that was it, it was just a dream.
