Realistic


Realistic, that's what you tell me

Child! Be realistic you say to me

Pick a realistic job, have a realistic dream

Perhaps I don't want just some realistic job!

 

To ask me to pick a realistic job

Removes my one passion in life

You take the very thing I exist for

The very thing I breathe for

The one thing in my life that I wake up for!

 

To act well my part

Knowing there all the honour lies.

To be on that stage making someone else happy

To make the world laugh and cry.

I die thinking of a world where I can't do that

So the next time you want me to be realistic

Think of what you are stealing from me

Think of what dreams your killing

Think of my life shattering.
