waking up

life isn't a dream. sometimes it'll feel like that though. sometimes i feel like I'm just sleep walking, and my life is a bit of a dream. too good to be true. the older i get however i realize life can't always be this way. every now and then we go through times of pure dreaming, but for every good dream, there's the alarm clock that follows. as unwelcoming as that buzz in our ear can be, we shouldn't be bitter the dream is over. instead we should appreciate that it happened. chasing after a dream is like trying to catch your shadow. pointless and tiring. we have to wait for the times we're placed right under the sun and we're standing on our shadow. we have to wait for the nights where we're blessed with a dream. and then let it engulf us.
