Rise of a Dream

A dream A thought that reins supreme But continually this thought Is by society wrought Into something not my own I'm a queen thrown Far from her throne A hollow clone I try to scream Try to recover my dream As it becomes within reach I hear the masses preach And I fall into the cavity Of living in conformity From which springs insanity A lack of individuality Imposing mediocrity I must escape this oppression And use my own discretion And no matter how I try Big brother's face is wry His disappointment Only has one ointment I must break free of his shackles Somehow ignoring the cackles Rise above the social norms Allow myself to make reforms Walk against the grain Show my true self again Maybe then I will find joy After I destroy The pretense I created And my own image desecrated Like a phoenix I can rise After shedding the disguise Finally I can be What I want the world to see And share with them my dream My thought that reins supreme
