(Isn’t) A Mythical Dream courageously walking the length of this lifetime, although, it isn’t always easy, at times, it blisters fervently, we’ll overcome every one of those feverish schemes... breaking the cold sweats daily maybe some aloe vera would soothe old aching bones and hopefully chasing away woes alas, the awakening, causes us to be very aware of reality - as this isn’t a mythical dream...
