I Wish I Lived in another World
Where prudence was unnecessary
and where rebuke was unheard of
I wish I lived in another world
where I didn’t have to be rankled by reality
where every moment was filled with serenity
where nobody cared if you lived
slovenly, dressed weirdly, or looked different
I wish I lived in another world
where there was no need to pilfer necessities
where lackadaisical minds were met with enthusiasm
and were there was no one to confiscate your dreams
and throw them into the deepest abyss of the ocean
But it’s just my luck
that I live in a world
where every morning I wake up with
no inkling of what’s to happen
where every day I embark on a journey into the unknown
Yes, it’s just my luck
that I live in a world
where audacity is met with punishment
where for many, life is depicted as one big joke
Yes, it’s just my luck, it truly is
that I live in a world
where you forge your own future
mold it, and bend it, and pound it till perfection
so in the end you’ll end up with
your own majestic masterpiece
a work of years stored in the minds and hearts of others
and its your choice if it’s a useful tool, or a parasite that clings
onto long gone memories just to finally
shrivel away and let go
Yes, it’s just my luck
that I live in a world
where I can wish, where I can dream,
and where I if I work hard enough can make those dreams into reality
