Of Dreams

As time passes by, I find myself changed
Priorities flipped, futures rearranged
No longer desiring a place in the sky
I find myself changed as time passes by

My youth is so far from where I am now
The life I possess is not what I vowed
To be a known talent with voice and guitar
From where I am now, my youth is so far

I let my chance go, abandoning dreams
I could not release though I burst at the seams
Afraid to be me, to let my insides show
Abandoning dreams, I let my chance go

And sometimes I wonder, I look back and think
How life would be different if I’d crossed the brink
Was I given new life or torn asunder
I look back and think and sometimes I wonder
