Metaphorically Speaking

 Where I lay my head,

Upon my bed; sinking into a pillow,

Fading off into a deep sleep,

In a dream,

Where my soul is lost,

Deep within the seven seas,

Trying to save every soul;

Eventually drowning my own,

Over the years

Still soul searching,

Because I myself; lost faith,

Thinking the world may change

The person I may become,

Afraid the future I envisioned

Wouldn’t be the same,

Trying to spread word of wisdom;

People believe in me

But I myself don’t see

The person they see in me,

Constant battling against demons

I believe in god

And god never fails to guide

My path towards righteousness

Somewhere down the line

With so many doubts and questions

I’ve drifted off the road

Maybe I needed to be alone

To re-focus on my roots

Seeing the bigger picture

Of what matters most

Family, loved ones, & close friends,

In the end that’s all you need

Are the people that will help you succeed,

Because with every encounter

You slowly grow stronger over time

Simply close your eyes

Take a deep breathe

Continue to dream

Some things may seem impossible

After all when you wake up

It was only a dream

But it is up to you

To make any dream

Into reality
