i have a dream


i have a dream not one of those famous ones that can save the human race or make this world a better place i have a dream there is darkness all around me but there in the distance i see a light barely in existence i have a dream the light gets bigger and the shell that was once my cage is ripped open with such intense rage i have a dream the emptiness inside me gets filed up with such a powerful light shining i have never felt so bright i have a dream the rain from my face has never tasted so clean i touch my chest how i missed so much i have a dream i’m free of this prison this nightmarish hell i finally can see the sun that was hidden from me i have a dream and sometimes it’s real i’m in a world i thought had forsaken me i am happy until i awaken i have a dream.
