DREAMWORLD.

John Rohner

closed up, you can't open
open up and let me in.
I can't belong to you,
I don't belong in your world.
your world is amazing
It's much better than I think
what other world could be
so great, so high
that only a select few can inherit it?

Exterminate the odd
by process of elimination.
I don't have time for you
for you wild ideas,
funny times
or caring eyes.
to care is to share
and I won't share
my dreamworld
with you.

my expectations are great
in my little life
wake up from your dreamworld
look around
through different eyes
see the care
see the hope
see a life..
a real life
Now, I'll come knocking again
Now, you might let me in.

Now that you are down
and humble,
how does your dreamworld
look?
This ain't a perfect world
you aren't our savior
This ain't a pretty world
it doesn't revolve around you.

This ain't a dreamworld.
