[OPENPOSITION]
I lay on my bed,
daydreaming, listening.
Listening to my mind telling stories.
Stories of myself if I was an actress,
an Автор или scientist.
It always seems so close, but just out reach,
daydreaming, thinking, listening to my mind.
please, cant they come true?
if i try hard enough
maybe they will
Ты cant just wish upon a star
that only takes Ты halfway
do the rest yourself
или it forever remains a daydream.
life is a funny thing,
Ты have to work for everything,
even if Ты dont realise it.
it is one long journey,
and death is not the end.
it is simply the begining
of an even greater adventure.
