Escapril Prompt #16: any dreams?
Following your dreams is inherently selfish
It forces you to make sacrifices for others that they did not ask for
Chasing after what you want borders on hellish
But once you start the journey you are hungry for more
It forces you to make sacrifices for others that they did not ask for
The things that you want for yourself make you blind to what they need
Chasing after what you want borders on hellish
And every night when you dream of the rewards, planted is a new seed
The things that you want for yourself make you blind to what they need
While you are off doing this and that to achieve your goals
And every night when you dream of the rewards, planted is a new seed
They are left behind in the wake of your races, forgotten and alone
While you are off doing this and that to achieve your goals
They live only half-lives in your absence, plain lives without dreams
They are left behind in the wake of your races, forgotten and alone
They see only the back of your head each time you leave
They live only half-lives in your absence, plain lives without dreams
Maybe someday everyone you love will reap the benefits in which you relish
They see only the back of your head each time you leave
Following your dreams is inherently selfish
