Offered a glimpse into my dreams,
Take my hand and see where it leads.
If I had it my way you’d accompany me,
But you are loath to follow, or so it would seem.

Won’t you provide this gentle madman with a way to pass the time,
Won’t you give this tortured soul a stage on which to shine,
Will you foWould you not forget my limitations, if you would be so kind.
rgive me if I were to forget my lines,

Loneliness is the path to suicide,
Life is a long drive without someone alongside,
So I beg of you, won’t you come with me to take a ride,
On a journey through my mind, it is up to you to decide.

Each of my failures is just another notch in my belt,
When all my history is a result of the pain that I have felt,
So few golden memories, such a long stretch of time,
Happiness was never really mine to find.

Put it down to lack of self-esteem,
Or a mind which compels me to run to extremes,
Perhaps it is my childhood which keeps me bogged down,
From the archetypes of rebel, villain, hero, or clown,
Such fantasies of mine have helped shape what I have become,
My own illusions have deceived me, there is nowhere else to run,
I’ve given up the chase to find my peace of mind,
At least until another day, when I wake up to see the sun.
