To dream a dream,
To stitch a seam.

To take a fairy,
on an open prairie.

To spell desire
In burning fire,
With death by rain
To drive me sane.

I cast a shadow in the midnight sun,
When signs say walk i say lets run.

To say aloud what should not be said,
To yearn for hunger just so you could be fed.

It's all the same inside your head.

Never abide by rules meant to protect you, because I think your strong enough to protect yourself. <3
