Who am I? Nobody. I'm the wind that blows your hair, the soft palm that hands you change, the name you can never remember when you wish you could. But I have wants. Man, do I... and let me tell you, they explode fast like... like lightning through an endless night sky. And do they hit? Goodness... they hit like an anvil, and they rattle my hum-drum daily routine apart like a deep, deep rumble. My wants? They threaten. My wants are stone cold fucking killers.

And I turn to them, let them take me over like an anthem to anarchy. They penetrate me from all sides, every orifice, with atrocious velocity. And in the middle of the night, more an more I'm thrust awake... and in that fleeting moment between what is, I wonder why. But I know why.

So I look at my everyday life, reflect on it like a predator. Coffee in the morning, deodorant, hop in the car. Commute. Fill my water bottle. Babble. I'm barely containing them. I lean into disaster with each passing day. Brushing clean the rug. Satisfied.

Who am I? A dreamer in a world of dreams. I can be anything.
 
Thread reminds me of this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLrDwyYjk9A

"Dream on dreamer life gets in your way
Dream on dreamer life gets in your way
There you go day and night
Up in the clouds flying so high
You try your best to stretch your mind
Beyond reality and sense and rhyme
You see things that make you big heart sing
Like the flowers trees and birds and pretty things
Hate to put your two feet on the ground
You like to step aside
And release yourself and fly
Dream on dreamer life gets in your way
If the life you live is a spinning top of pain then you can
Dream on dreamer life gets in your way
If ya live to learn you'll be lucky one day"

It's funny that you both went to songs. This entry isn't about that specifically, but my inspiration was a song. I'm not sure I should reveal it, then you'd all see how the sausage is made and you'd throw it out the window instead of into your mouths.

nowisthetime... I see the shared themes. I like to fancy myself a more wicked soul, all complexities and dark temptations. It's make-believe though, at the end of the day I really appreciate a simple upbeat funk tune.

I definitely have to agree with you!
 
Where's your shame ?

You've left us up to our necks in it!

Time may change me...

But you can't trace time

You better get right out here in front of the class and explain yourself. My shame met a legendary end somewhere between pinch-rolled jeans and beating off in front of the housekeeper.
 
when you dream
too deep too dark too long
you barely face the sun it
hurts your eyes
and living seems less real
than those swift streams that
pull you under
drag you till exhaustion
spits you out again
to coffee and a song
played over and over
time takes a cigarette
but you inhale its poisons
