Once upon a time I had a dream
always bursting at the seams
but all I've got today
is a pain that takes me further astray
when I first my story told
it was summer, but somehow, I was cold
every word on the parchment that lay
brought back memories that took my breath away
like my father used to say
"you can't every time have your way"
but the more, in my failure, i got caught
the more my heart would grow distraught
until a time I could take no more
thinking life was no more real than a lore
I decided to give up, it all
and from my shoulders, I felt the burden fall
I, now, have a second life
without all the grief and strife
once upon a time I had a dream
and now it's time for it to gleam
