I lay on my bed,
daydreaming, listening.
Listening to my mind telling stories.
Stories of myself if I was an actress,
an লেখক অথবা scientist.
It always seems so close, but just out reach,
daydreaming, thinking, listening to my mind.
please, cant they come true?
if i try hard enough
maybe they will
আপনি cant just wish upon a star
that only takes আপনি halfway
do the rest yourself
অথবা it forever remains a daydream.
life is a funny thing,
আপনি have to work for everything,
even if আপনি dont realise it.
it is one long journey,
and death is not the end.
it is simply the begining
of an even greater adventure.
