Dreams are Just Plans for Tomorrow

A dream is a pull
Dragging you along 
Some days, it's so powerful
It feels like you're just moving through
The motions of the day
No thought 
Not thinking about anything else
Faking it
Until you can get where you want to be

Pep-talks in the mirror
Posters and photos littering the walls
A dreamer is very familiar with these 
Pressure on yourself to achieve
Too much, sometimes
Your life begins to feel like it's just
Leading up to that moment
Moving mechanically through the actions of the day 
To get there
Until you get there

Constant reminders posted on bulletin boards
Walls
Phone backgrounds
Every dreamer knows this
Everyday reminders of where you're trying go
What you're trying to do
Sometimes it's hard to sit still
It's hard to make yourself "switch it off" 
When you go to school
Work
Homework
Every dreamer knows that feeling

Some dreams are just dreams
Dreams of faraway places
Fantasy worlds
Some dreams for more than dreams
Some dreams are plans
Plans for the future
Some dreams are your future
Dreams are just plans for tomorrow
