Following Your Dreams

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
