Elucidating Questions

You were in my dream

I cry in my dreams too

By now you know I’m hopeless

You’re quiet and out of focus

The flowers are all wilting

In my dreams I never see the surroundings

I have something to do

Somewhere to go

People

I feel wilted too

Leaning over to the ground as the weight of life becomes too much

Asking the earth for just a bit more

But it’s too late for them she is quiet beneath their entangling and their begging

I have nothing to offer you

I wish I could make you proud but I feel so lost

All of these futures

All of these dreams

All of these people

I can’t find my place here

All I can hope is that there will somehow be

A brighter future without me
