The Things I Know

July 6th, 2011

Things I had once known
Are no longer what they are
And I may have lost myself
But I don’t think I got too far
Tell me who I am
And I’ll show you who I’m not
But what is the truth
I think I forgot
Everything is changing
I guess I’m not so sure
And things I thought would never change
Aren’t what they were before
But things will never stay
I’ve known this all along
And the only time I questioned that
I found that I was wrong
So I take things as they are
And I’ll take things as they go
Because this is who I am
Because this is what I know

Just A Dream?

July 7th, 2024

The last few nights
Filled with weird dreams
Replaying in my mind
What do they mean
Living in a new place
With people peaking in
Risking the same issues
How do I win
Being drugged by a stranger
There’s always that risk
But dragged to an alternate reality
Do those even exist?
But then I’m working in retail
And I’m collecting sea shells
No idea where they came from
Are these layers of hell?
Then I’m dragged to an event
With decoys of me
So no one can save me
Trapped in this reality
Then the next night again
A strange occupation
Arresting the last person I loved
Now what was this causation
With a parting kiss
I’m back at an old workplace
Some people shouldn’t be there
But I didn’t solve that case
Someone stood up for me
While one questioned my skills
Behavior like this
Had me running for the hills
And it just kept going
Because I’m in a classroom
My friend’s son is arguing
About someone who transferred too soon
Was this all connected
Was there any meaning
I’m looking for significance
But I was only dreaming
