Description
I'm a person of sorts, this is the life of a dream.Counting down the hours, the minutes, thinking it's better than it seems.
Time is of the essence, or so I have heard,
"live life like each day was your last", as if it were my last words.
Taking each day in, then breathing it out.
Wishing there was a different way to get myself to stop this doubt.
Silence is not the answer, too few words to get a point through.
Life is but a dream that may be the end.
As you can see, there is not much that I can hide.
I can hold myself to my word, and confidently lie.
Skeptical, one may react in the wrong.
No harm done, I'm just playing my favorite song.
Creating life beneath my finger tips, and making music on these ivory keys.
This is a life that I dream.
Counting down the hours, the minutes, thinking it is better than it seems.
Rhythmic, on beat, how sad this part is going to be.
Time is of the essence, and stories are folded into the breeze.
A day filled with monotony, but only wanting to be free.
Reaching up to the sky, with eyes gleaming like diamonds.
Letting the storm pass through, quietly.
In retrospect, I am the one hiding tears shed in the rain.
Wishing there was a source of comfort, for these feelings to be tamed.
Taking each day in, and then breathing it out to show.
The only one to catch me like a falling star from the sea below,
is someone that I will never know.

To make it short and sweet, it's a confession of how each day feels... for me. It's a poem for those that feel the same way I do. I wrote this... two, or three months ago? "This is the life of a dream." is repeated because it is a statement to how I want to see the world, how I perceive it, and how I treat it. "Counting down the hours, the minutes, thinking it is better than it seems." is repeated, also, because it's a slap to the face to the person that made the quote, "The grass is always greener on the other side." Because, I keep telling that my life is not that bad, but I still countdown when it'll get better. In reference to the line consisting the ivory keys, it's "creating life." I usually associate the piano to my hopes and aspirations. And because when I sit in front of a piano, it picks me up when I'm at my worst. "how sad this part is going to be." is just a statement that if my life was expressed through a sonata, there will be a part where it's more of a struggle between myself and being shot down by other people. I'm always thinking of new piano pieces (I've never learned how to play the piano that well, the notes are just stuck in my head, those melodies... I stitch them all together but never put them on paper) "Letting the storm pass through quietly." Is another statement that, when something in my life goes terribly wrong, or people are arguing left and right, I just ride it out, not even saying a word during or after. "The only one to catch me like a falling star from the sea below, is someone that I will never know." Is a slap to the face to the quote, "To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on.” and " a falling star from the sea below," is going to be a repeating theme/phrase in my works because 1) I thought it was brilliantly thought out, and 2) it makes no sense, except anyone can relate to it. I guess... breaking it down, every person can be a shooting star, when we fall, there is only one chance out of the thousand millions one is going to fall into the Earth's sea, so, it's a "falling star from the sea below," just wondering if anyone will ever come across its existence, or never know of it at all.
Thank you for your comment, glad I was able to stir some emotions up. ^ w^ A confusing world is a simple world that will never make sense.

I'm not entirely sure what to say about this. Just that it stirs up a number of emotions that can make a simple world confusing again.
