Neon Genesis Evangelion (Prefer Asuka, but whatever)
(Well, this dream didn’t come true. Though, I’ve learned that a lot of people feel the same way. That’s a shame.)
I dream
And pray
For a life less stressed
*
Where sleeping
Does not require medicine
Or pure exhaustion
*
Where a bill
Does not induce terror
And hard decisions
*
Where a sick day
Does not cause panic
Over the growing workload
*
Where a weekend
Does not fall to errands
And vanish in a blink
*
Where all responsibility
Is no longer on my shoulders
And I can breathe again
*
Where my work life
Does not infect my mind
When sleeping and awake
*
I dream
Of a life less stressed
That will never happen
Legends of Windemere 
I do still hold high hopes it happens someday!
