A waking dream

“Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.”

Kurt Cobain

I woke up to find

that everything I'd been led to believe

was only a passing waking dream

I woke to find

myself flat out on the ground

immobile while the world

was spinning round

I woke up

I woke up to see

a world of endless possibility

where life is what we make

and what we choose

I woke up to find

that people weren't as pretty

as they seemed

but yet more beautiful than any dream

I woke up

I woke up to find

the universe within my palm

That we are not at all who we seem to be

Now I stare at all the dreamers

the lifeless eyes blind to their infinity

waiting for their lives to start

when they began before they fell asleep
