When I lay my head to sleep at night,

I always have the same dream where I need to fight to save my own life,

stuck on memories that are no longer mine.

days are long and winding through

the same lazy routine.

I hope it was worth it.

All the pain I've seen and felt.

I only ask that it makes for an interesting story.

another way to spend my days while I avoid going

back to sleep.

In the end, I didn't know what to do.

living meant trying to survive. If you made it this far, it means you're still alive.

If you're lucky,

that won't be enough anymore.
