THE  LANE

Have you ever woke up shaking,
holding your pillow tight?
The dream was only a short one,
but it seemed to last all night.

Have you ever wished upon a star,
when there weren't any in the sky?
The rain continues to pour down.
You want strength, but can only cry.

There seems to be no answers,
to the questions that you ask.
You want so bad to be first,
but you always come in last.

Have you ever wanted something so badly,
but couldn't seem to get it?
You have the most beautiful candles,
but just can't get them lit.

You promise things will be different,
they still remain the same.
You think you've found a highway,
it turns out to be only a lane.

And then when the lane gets rocky,
I veer off and go astray.
If I could only remember,
it can't rain everyday.
