Melatonin

I used to dream a rockstar dream
then I realized it wasn't for me
so I started writing poetry
gave me a bit of that feeling
looking back at my life
I had a lot of wonderful moments
like when I first met my wife
we lived apart but made it work
when I finally held her
I promised to never let go

oh melatonin
send me a dream
make it the best I've ever seen
of all the great moments in my life
come rushing back at one time

playing old games on my snes
making foods that my mom used to make
pretending that I'm still that kid
missing the ones who made me a man
sometimes I get depressed
because I wonder if there's anything left
working on myself
taking two steps forward
then taking two steps back

oh melatonin
send me a dream
make it the best I've ever seen
of all the great moments in my life
come rushing back at one time

shouldn't I be whimsical in my privilege?
I find it hard to make friends
can't make a buck when your legit
searched the world and I found love
had our adventures
fought the hard fights
now I rest my boots at night
knowing life is short
hoping I'm not wasting time
