Living the Dream

Of nostalgia- of endless nights -

gazing at the stars that occupied my dreams,

a smile adorned my face each time

as I saw the twinkling lights scale the sky,

a hundred lives fast asleep

in a metal box flying high.

I craved to be with them, 

I smiled as I was them;

Its bitter spirits and bland foods

made me smile for paradise awaits,

a new life, a new adventure

and here I am living a dream- a nightmarish dream,

but a good one nonetheless. I am happy,

in depression and despair, I am happy-

for am living my dream- 

of its chilly winds ever inviting,

its city lights ever filling me with awe

I am finally home!

And each sleepless night I spend

so worth it, cause they remind me am alive!

so alive and free- free to be me!

And thus I'm complete!
