DREAMER (2003-Nov-19)

what is the use of a dreamer?
am i merely entertainment for those who indulge me?
or perhaps an irritant to keep some from complacency?

for what purpose?

what is the use of dreams that have no roots in reality?
are they merely indulgence? escapism?
self-grandizement?
perhaps they are cries from a soul that doesn't belong here.

and perhaps i over dramatize.

does it matter? i am what i am, dreams and all.
is it the nature of dreaming to question life?
if i question my dreaming do i question god?

am i that arrogant?

i envy those who are human without thinking about it.
who don't even know there's anything to think about.
what demons do they fight that i don't see?

would i understand if i did see?

can i claim to be alive if i don't contribute to life?
can i be someone, belong, if i live in a dream world?
what good is heartsickness if it doesn't prompt action?

if i wanted life i would have it.

why do my dreams never come to life, to reality?
are they frivolous? poorly thought through?
inconsequential?
would i be exposed as a fraud if they did?

perhaps a dream catcher has me safe.

do all people hide in one way or another?
where do they hide if not in worlds of dreams?
would i hide from life if i didn't have an easy escape?

am i the dreamer or someone else's dream?
