Dream Life

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally.  Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. Even when a situation seems so personal,  it has nothing to do with you. What they say, what they do,  and the opinions they give are projections of their own  internal thoughts.

For I've heard that there are realms Trapped in those seconds in between, Where life is a collision of reality and dream. What a wonder to have nothing More or less than you believe, To live within a world Of what your sleep filled mind conceives. But it breaks a heart to know It lasts no longer than a yawn, For with one rub of tried eyes Into reality I'm drawn.
