So you don't believe that... you think therefore you are?
I believe that. But what if this was a just a dream within a dream. I might wake up to a brighter reality tomorrow

That's interesting. If life is just a dream within a dream then waking up would be like finding something better... and if that waking place were a dream as well... then so on and so on but if in each dream we think and are then what difference does the dream make... all that matters is the dreamer..@Lacrimosa:

@Lacrimosa: World of illusions

Born into this world illusions
Where lays to much confusion
Raised under some beliefs
That nothing was out of reach

Taught for long simple values
Which now everyone argue
Grew up with the expectations
Of an outcome with better options

Thrown into a delusional society
In which you can never really be
Where all is in motion for the richer
But less fortunate don't really matter

Every human should be equal
Class status declared to be illegal
Never a kids, young adult or older
Should be without a roof or left with hunger

The civilization makes it hard to dream
When sometimes all you want to do is scream
It's our rights to want a better life
Why to achieve it we always have to fight

From now on let's all stand tall
We are all humans this we must recall
Instead of nagging one another
Helping each other sound much better

Gather your strength and held your head high
Yours hopes can be as big as the sky
Never forget to keep smiling
Cause no matter what you are amazing
@Motherfuckerjones: Right! That concept gets so complex so fast. Even though all that matters is the dreamer its still scary to think that right now I could be wasting my real life away in some place that may be greater then the reality I know now

Thus one was more recent..coming up with the other one

ILLUSION OF OUR OWN LIFE

Sitting in a valley of sweet illusions
Estranged to our own life set into the motion
Constantly trying to make them see
The perception of us they have ain't really

Growing up too fast in a world so cold
Forgotten by those who weren't supposed
Deception we could see in their eyes
Sometimes even pure despise

Fighting every day strongly
For what's called our dignity
Refusing to live our journey with regrets
Choices makes us who we are, it's no secret

Storms and raging skies we've fought
The true self we are today could never be bought
Self-esteem we undeniably worked on
Every day chasing away our own demon

Becoming the opposite of who they were
We proudly stand tall and show them we are better
Love and appreciation they never showed us
For the adult we are now, it is a must

Finding our own path away from their hold
Never again our emotion will remain untold
By our strength we became the exception
The battle was not vain, we indeed won

Kind hearted souls we became
Caring about others for us is no shame
Our ordeal made us better humans
Just for that we can say we had chance

A simple what if.....

What if our past had just never really existed?
As if all we ever knew was just pure imagination
A load of stories made up to brighten up a dark secret
That has been around since the beginning of dawn

Thousands of years have gone by, without anyone noticing
Still each day we try to figure out which way to go
Lonely souls, wandering in the cold night, in search of warmth
Hoping for disruption that will finally untie the chain to sorrow

Despite the reality of the pain caused by old illusions
Hanging in a dream of reaching out to something new
Longing the desire to break out of this numb existence
Creating hopes and salvation, ending war and armful hurt

Humanity was brought up to live as one, to laugh and love
Only few were lucky enough to follow that path created for them
I want to rise up and break free of the life that was once set for me Breathe the purity of a destination only chosen by me

My future will be filled with brightness, love and serenity,
No more darkness and false hope….my life is mine to grab
Happiness awaits nearby days, on an incredible path
Because it will be my own, the one I travelled for, it will be no more illusions
But simple and beautiful reality, will you walk with me?
@Chantou: Those were really nice. I think they describe a similar thing I feel. What if the past is not real, its a scary thought because we are just the sum of our experiences. THey are what make us but if they are not real then what am I, you know

@Lacrimosa: yes.. I wrote those cause sometimes it feels like we are the puppets of something bigger.. like we will wake up one day and all we know will never have been.... The universe is so big.. it's like we live in a bad dream with some good part... Or a good dream with some bad part.. but what will we wake to one day?

I know
@Chantou: Do you know? what will we wake up to?
SW-User
@Lacrimosa: no I don't... But I hope and wish it will be better than the illusion we are stuck into right now.. I have hope.. 😍
