Dreams
Aren't dreams a curious thing?
To wake up and not know
To enter the world that is your mind
And see into the depths of your soul
Or to be cut short and to have to wonder
What would have happened in the end

Would you have met a bloody end?
A death to claim your fragile soul?
Maybe a treasure of which only you could know
Oh now you're hoping- and thinking! It makes you wonder.... 
Oh yes, dreams can be a terrible thing
That trick and decieve and fool your mind

You can visualize everything in your mind
You got the girl the money and you don't need a thing
The dream itself makes you into a person of wonder
An idol, an icon, another celebrity off the deep end
But you lose yourself in the dream and can't possibly know
That the dream is steadily eating at your soul

You cry out to the Lord to save your soul
And then you realize it's all in your mind
But still it makes you wonder
about your life when it comes to an end
Will you become an inanimate object? A thing?
Or will you just wake up? I think you know....

You can never know
for sure. That's what faith is for- to temporarily soothe your soul
Cause in your dream, you might not wake up at the end
But it won't matter because your mind
will become just a thing
And never again will you wonder

In eternity you don't wonder
In eternity all you have is your soul
In eternity it really is the end, because there is NO END
And you only need to know 
One thing
That it's all in your head. All in your mind.

I guess dreams are a terrible wonderful thing
Mysterious and literally full of wonder
It always makes you question: The End?

I share the same faith as you and i could see that in your writing. I like how you said that in a subtle way instead of just shouting it out. It makes people wonder what you mean and they dive in as well. My dreams are filled of the craziest of things,like getting shot at in a mall, or saving the galaxy from some villain. I have often thought about what i will be remembered as and i liked how you announced you did not want to be forgotten.
Well done
Cheers, Brielle
