The Dream's Still Alive

(Dream sequence. A boy plunges deep within cold uncharted waters, coughing violently as he swims frantically through the currents. He succumbs to them eventually, taken as he plummets steadily towards the ocean floor.)

Still floating…

But I have another literary story for you…

I say

Will you listen to it?

Here I swim

I wont be catty 

Here’s the truth…

I say

Still floating

No need to say how it happened

But here’s the truth…

Though I’ve never been chatty…

Oh, I’m not hurt

I’m still alive

Hey, I’m not burned

I’m still alive

Hey, the page has turned

And I’m still alive

Oh oh…

See life walks slowly

Across the planes of a literary mind

Though it whispers ’’Not waiting on you’’ 

I don’t wanna remember, anything about it to this very day, accept the sunshine when it chose to shine

I was there, but now just swimming through the current

I told the truth

Oh, I’m not hurt

I’m still alive

Hey, I can’t burn

I’m still alive

Hey, the page has turned

Know I’m still alive

Oh oh…

‘’Nothing’s wrong’’ I say I…

‘’Just had a little accident’’ I say…

‘’And do you deserve to see land?’’ life says.

Let me reach it

I told the truth

Hey I’m not hurting

I’m still alive

Told you I won’t drown

See I’m still alive

Hey, haven't you heard?

The Dream’s still alive

(The boy emerges from the cold depths of the dark ocean, reaching shore just as the sun of a new day emerges from the once overcast skies)
