I want your wisdom,

I don't want to hear your lies.

I'd better see the truth

when I'm looking in your eyes.

I walk in circles

but I travel in straight lines.

My eyes may be closed

but I can see the signs.

You're just another dreamer

in a wide awake world.

You're just another dreamer,

I'm a wide awake girl.

I speak in stories

when I stumble through the night.

I talk in tales

in broad daylight.

I hear your hunger

when I wander in the rains.

I can feel the thunder

throbbing in my veins.

You're just another dreamer

in a wide awake world.

You're just another dreamer,

I'm a wide awake girl.

kylyssa, this poem is extraordinary. in this one, I can see myself struggling on the same road as the subject. I suspect you and I are a great deal alike. I quite enjoy your poetry.
