The Cost

Dreams feel right when we were kids
Until its not enough for the world we're in
"I told you so"
No words more sharp
At least you saw reality from the start

Hours to days to years of my life lost
To live... but that is the cost!

Giving in dont seem so bad
Pass on the problems like they have in the past
Dreamers disease brings me to my knees
Praying to god, an easier way to be

Fufillment and regret feel one in the same
A moment of purpose
A moment of shame
Stuck between boring and obscene
Somewhere in between makes me feel unseen
Too old to have doubts on what I want to be
Too young to be taken seriously
Honesty seems to come with a price
How much of myself am I willing to sacrifice?

This can't be all there is!

I've seen it before but I didn't make it
I've had it before but I didn't take it
