"DREAMS IN DAYTIME" BY XENIALINK
_I'm what I think I might become_
All that I have become now
Are what I have left behind
They hunt me as I depart
None of the good ones are mine
But only the bad ones returned
Thoughts
I think this is what will happen
When I have gone far
Far away from my deeds
But rather I am sinking
Deep in all of my sins
Feelings
I still know how to feel
My mind still have a heart
Though I think elsewhere
Can't I have what's real for once?
Can I?
If I could stop this illusion
My fantasy could be my dream
And my dream won't be a fantasy
Not that I have gone to far in my thoughts
I will have to feel how real they've become
_I'm what I think I might become_

The poet persona is in a pool of imagination. The voice feels only the bad acts of the past are coming to hunt his present activities. The bard hungers for reality of dreams.
