The Sleeping

Childhood is filled with chains,
holding dreams down with lies.
Adolescence is confusion
resulting in saddened eyes.

Adulthood is many paths,
all of which are narrow-minded,
for when we chose which one to take
we lose the past behind it.

We forget all we have had,
lock away all we've done,
hoping for new prospects,
to come with the rising sun.

To me they tend to think,
they can explain it all away,
every desire to change things
every mood in every day.

They've lost themselves in statistics,
not seeing with eyes so closed,
that it is they who are the sleeping.
this is what my eyes exposed.
