Sole Dreamer

Sleep…eternal sleep so deep

Into the back of my mind it creeps,

So discrete,

Letting me think,

The problems are gone so I blink,

Once twice, am I asleep?

I see a fountain, so I drink,

Just to see a reflection inverted so weak,

What I see is not meek,

I still seek the truth,

So hard to find and keep,

But I keep thriving,

In fact still surviving,

Haven’t reached the end seems like I’m still arriving,

On the endless road I’m driving,

No one can bring me down,

I float above the ground,

People try to catch me now,

But I’m nowhere to be found,

Into myself I drown,

Only seeing me,

It’s so profound,

No one’s listening,

But I hear the sound,

My heart’s beating at its own pace,

Pounding harder with each embrace ,

The heavy air I taste,

As the wind blows against my face,

And once again I feel,

My posture filled with grace,

My head is lifted high

I begin my race,

Everyone attempts to turn me away,

But I’m still in the lead

I still remain

First place,

A name is so easily replaced,

But there’s only one me,

And that’s something that will never change.
