When he was little, he felt as if the world was his to behold, everyone said it was so. He went through life pursing that American Dream. Blindly following white picket fences to wealth. He has become part of the machine. A self-made wheel, going round and round. As the years past, the promotions and material increased. Yet, he still felt empty in his crowded house. He realized that he had been searching, for a door that was never there. Sober now, he waved goodbye to this, Machine Dream. Though there was a click, he never heard the sound.
I am a nothing dreaming of something unknown.

I like this a lot.
I have an idea about the last line , my own interpretation of course of what it means.
I won't say though because I'm in a pretty dark mood, and don't want to ruin it for everybody else.
thanks for sharing.
