Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

I remove faith
But I put in dream
Because I don’t believe
In the things I’ve seen
Only for you
I’d stay up all night
Trying to work out
What’s wrong and what’s right
But if you don’t live
And you don’t believe
Then you wear your heart
Upon your sleeve
Why be an owl
If born a jackdaw?
Because you don’t believe
The things you saw.
