Fragile

All at once I wake up in a dream,
Listening, I hear a voice lingering,
Telling me what my heart is too hard to see
My life is fragile, but I will not break.
My mind is willing, but I'm not awake.
Sometimes I think about life
And the pain I try to vainly escape
Covering myself with clichés,
As an attempt to set things straight.
This will not stop the bleeding
this dream will not curb the feeling
realistically, I must face reality
accepting the stage that was built for me,
singing even when I cant see
dreaming even when I cant sleep
There may be a better way,
a path with less bends and breaks, but I'm
walking along this empty road,
and it is mine, all mine, and I'm
making my way.
Somedays I am strong,
Somedays I am weak,
Sometimes I go to breathe,
But my lungs will not inhale…
Sometimes I think about life
And the pain I try to vainly escape
Covering myself with clichés,
As an attempt to set things straight.
This will not stop the bleeding
this dream will not curb the feeling
"Sleep through the bad days," I once heard.
But if you're so involved with sleep,
How can you live out your dreams? I Lay in bed
Restless, pondering my life's achievements,
Successfully breathing for the first time.
Sometimes I think about my life
And the pain I try to vainly escape,
Am I a waste of time and space?
Am I too far gone to save?
