a dream that won't go away

-it's happening- 

nine to five  

.....it's starting to take over.....
.......this one precious life....... 

still I strive

to do my best 

still I invest 

 my everything

into making it work

into making (everything) work 

for if it does 

if I make it through 

in a couple of years

my dreams might actually come true

I might find myself back there
back where
life made no sense

-Lahore-

I'll remember then 

what all this hard work was for

for now, for them, for this

for that, for the future

for fewer
long shots 

for greener
outcrops
-for beautiful souls-

for those children who stole

and possess
my heart
