Green Tears (Formerly: 'What Do You Dream About at Night?')

I wonder... What do you think about when you lay down to sleep at night. Do you even close your eyes, Or do green tears crowd opaqe eyes? Is that what you think about at night? Being somebody you will never understand, Or even comprehend? Do you wish that, if even for just one moment, You could be in those shoes and breathe his breath? Maybe if you take a moment and just wipe away sensless tears, And take a look at what you still have. But... Do you really have anything? Is everything you know as fake as you? What would you really do if you could be him? Would you have the best life, Like in your dreams, Or would you realize that he lives the same as you, Waking up every morning and falling asleep every night wishing he could be someone else. Sometimes those you least expect to be different are the ones who are really not themselves. They put on fake faces and hold in those green tears to impress or surpress the life they live on the outside. I wonder... What do you dream about at night? Do you cry green tears... Do you wish you could be somebody you will never understand. I know I do... I am as plastic as the Earth you walk on... Careful... Don't forget to breathe.damn... I wrote a serious one.
