These dreams

The burden of ambition
The struggle against ordinary
The crave for more
Slightly better
Slight mega
Slightly greater
The push
The drive
Argghhh
Can the future be here already?



It wasn't always like this
Early to bed, Early to rise used to be the order of the day
The longer the sleep, the longer the dream..cos dreams were infused in sleep

But with age came responsibilities
With age came these dreams
With age came aspirations
With age came these goals and the burden of success


As these aspirations got bigger
The nights became shorter

Day times have become too short for an early bed rest
And even when we get/fall on our beds early
Immediately, we start dreaming
These dreams again
Same bed, same dreams, different nites
Tables have turned
Dreams don't stand the same
Dreams now stand outside sleep
This time we are dreaming with our eyes wide open
The longer the dreams, the shorter the sleep

The longer the post, the more I crave sleep
Goodnite guys!

all too familiar experiences.. i hardly sleep again.."we are not late but running late" that's what i said to Cyrus days back."Prolonged anticipation gives birth to death and demise of vision"
