When you are asleep.
When you close your eyes and slowly drift away,
Into a realm of darkness where you lose yourself,
The world still goes on normally anyway.
Ants still searching around, bees are still after nectar,
The hardworking employees still struggling night and day—
The world is just the same every day,
Nothing changes when you are away.

Birds are still free, flying the same,
Many caged souls still perish in vain.
Many mysteries remain unravelled, so many places yet to be travelled.
New faces appear as the old ones leave every day.
Insects still sing their songs carelessly,
Hopeless animals still cry to the cruel humans for mercy.
The rich still desire more while the poor struggle to stay.
Wars still cause destruction, and so does hate.
To a lover's heart, love still finds its way,
While deadly sins continue to spread every day.

Your family still loves you, strangers still don’t know you today,
Your haters still despise you, lovers still die for you.
But when you sleep too long, everyone eventually goes away.
Haters start to hate others, lovers forget your silhouette—
Soon how you cried,
And the way you smiled—They all forget.
People move on quickly when in a deep sleep, you fade away.
Millions of people remain oblivious of your existence,
And continue their lives in the same way.

So many people have insane desires and they perceive themselves as the protagonists,
Their hopes...
