oh, i dreamed once. i dreamed a long time ago. it didn’t work.

it didn’t work for me. so it’s not going to work for you.

my friend says to me.

what kind of a friend says that? you might ask.

this is the world we live in now.

the world where people tell others to come back down to earth,

don’t dream, don’t think that you can escape, that you can be better than us,

come back, come back here back to earth,

don’t be like this,

don’t think that you can dream and you will succeed,

yes, others have done it, but they were special, they were talented,

you are just ordinary, you are just common,

ordinary,

common,

here,

don’t worry about doing anything different,

don’t think you are going to do do anything more,

stop,

come back here,

you are not special,

you are not going to make it,

you are not going to,

don’t even try.
