What is a dream worth to you?

If you look at me and only me

you won’t see

You won’t see the souls suffering

or the children crying

You won’t see the rich stealing

Or the poor weeping

I will show you the light

But you must promise me one thing

Don’t look away

But if you look

You’ll break along with them

You’ll see the cold reality of the world

You’ll see the black hole trying to swallow you whole

You’ll see the tears shed by so many who lost hope

You’ll see the dead walking among the living

Pleading for a second chance to really live

Those hopes and dreams you held so dear

Will be gone

Stolen without a second thought

You’ll have to fight

You’ll have to take and give what has been taken

You’ll have to hurt and be hurt

You’ll understand their pain, dread, hopelessness

But at the very end of the tunnel

When you have crawled through the despair

You’ll see a blinding light

A light so blessed and forgiving

A light that makes you rethink everything

A light congratulating you

Would you turn away and come with me?

To a world with no worries where all your desires are met

Or will you be the fool that turns their back

And walks into the darkness

Where despair lurks

And the creatures hide

The sun never comes up

And you’re all alone

What is a dream worth to you?
