Another's Wasted Dream
Delay success for as long
As you can
Living up to an image
Will only cloud your vision
Stealing what you can least
Afford to lose
Dragging you into the illusion
And myth
You have spent a lifetime
Railing against
Dragging you into the
Vicarious trap
Of another’s false and wasted
Dream
