Seems Like A Dream Poem by Alex Perez

I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT, IT'S NOT RIGHT THE WAY LIFE CAN DO YOU SOMETIMES, I TRY TO RELAX AND TAKE A BREATH, AND TELL MYSELF IT'S ALL FOR THE BEST..NOW IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A DREAM.

MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE, HOW MY LIFE TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST, NOW I'M CURSED IT SEEMS, CAUSE JUST WHEN IT FINALLY LOOKED LIKE I WAS GETTING SOMEWHERE IN MY LIFE, ON MY PATH THINGS WERE WORKING FOR ME. NOW IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A DREAM.

I WANT TO FIND IT AGAIN A PLACE WHERE I CAN FIT IN, WHERE EVERYONE AROUND ME IS NOT PLOTTING TO DO ME IN, OVER GREED AND FAME, ITS INSANE HOW THINGS TURNED OUT THAT WAY OVER GOING THRU SOME AWKWARD THANGS, FIGHTING DEMONS TO MAINTAIN, THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM, FROM MAKIN GREEN FLIPPIN BEANS, TO WALKIN THE STREET LOST LOOKIN LIKE A FIEND, NOW IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A DREAM.

I THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A COMPANION FOR ME, REALIZING NOW IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE, THE PULL, THE DOUBT, BUILDING ANGER IN ME. I SHOULDV'E DROPPED IT LONG AGO, WHEN I KNEW THAT MY HOUSE WAS NOT A HOME, INSTEAD OF LETTING GO I’M GOING TO BUILD AND DO IT 10 FOLD. FIRST I HAVE TO GET RID OF THE OLD, TIE UP THE LOOSE ENDS, SO I CAN MOVE ON AND BUILD, SO I CAN BELIEVE IN MYSELF, BRING ME BACK TO HEALTH AND OBTAIN THE WEALTH, I TELL MYSELF ITS NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS, BUT NOW IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A DREAM.

BUT NOW IT’S UP TO ME TO MAKE A DREAM A REALITY.

BECAUSE LIFE FOR ME AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE! ! !
