Have you ever wondered if there's even a point?
For all of these years we live to dissapoint.
Days upon days,
Years upon years.
I wish we could just sleep forever
To contain all of our peers.
This life may seem simple
But deep within it could easily crimple.
The longer it lasts, the more painful it becomes.
As long as it seems, your life seems to hum.
So answer this question.
What is this life?
Is it just a dream?
Or are we just reliving someone else's life?

you will never make it big if you dream small. youll never learn if your living in the past and youll never understand if you were to fast forward, just press play and live!
