asleep i see the world

i see your smile.
i see your love for me
flowing through your face.
you look exactly
as i feel.

i see my childhood.
daddy won't build me a swing.
daddy is locked in his office.
mummy says
it's because of me.

i see lost friendships.
i know everything about you
but now we're strangers
when out lives pass on the street.

i see a sad world.
drones of a susceptible society
are filled with apathy for their fellows.
those we pay attention to are currupt.
they are shameless.

i see those famished for attention.
cry wolf if it will get you
a second glance.
no morals required.

i see obstacles.
my path is blocked
and what i love is out of reach.
but i can stretch
and i will fight.

open my eyes.
i see the sun.
my eyelids show me
all i need to know.
