Did You?

Hey, did you

Wake up to

Find you're not who you thought you should be?
Did you at last

Look at the past

Several years to think of who you would be?
Does the present match the image that you'd stamped

Inside your mind?

Or does there seem to be omitting something that

You may have left behind?

The problem is that in our dreaming

We don't factor obstacles into the fantasy

We also forget what's real or seeming

In the weighing of our destiny

Sometimes we forget to count the torments

And disasters we've braved to get this far

But the battle and gain are both important

For it's the culmination of who we are
