Have You?

Have you ever dreamed an impossible dream

And woken up to find it is your reality

Have you ever been destroyed by reality

Only to find it was all just a dream

Have you ever bravely unmasked your worst enemy

Only to find your own face, staring back at you

Have you ever stared at your image in the mirror

Not recognizing the face as your own

Have you ever repeated a word so many times 

It lost all meaning

Have you ever been scared to utter a word

Because it meant so much

Have you ever wanted to bash your head into a tree

Just to relieve the pain inside your brain

Have you ever wanted to hang your heart on a telephone pole

And watch the crows and squirrels feed on it because it would make it hurt less

Have you ever loved in such a way that the world stopped around you

And when the world started again you found you'd been left behind

Have you ever hated in such a way that unimaginable horrors became desirable

And when you stopped to breathe you could see only love

Have you ever dreamed an impossible dream

And woken up to find it is your reality

Have you ever been destroyed by reality

Only to find it was all just a dream
