Keep Dreaming


Okay.

I’m the girl with a dream.

A dream i know that will never be.

They call me stupid,dumb and idiotic thinking “is she serious following that dream, doesn’t she know there needs to be a theme.”

What does that mean?

A theme?

That’s what my parents say, the key is a theme.

I asked them what’s a theme?

They responded with You need to be who you want to be, not in a show who you fake all the possibilities. Go out into the world. Dream realistic dreams, but not the dream that you dream.

What’s the girl with the dream, dream?

To be honest i can’t explain, but it has always started on broadway…

I love it all. The singing. The dancing. The acting…

“Dream big dreams…

(I want to be someone that isn’t me, i know that sounds crazy, but hear me be. I want to be set free, I get an education for their dreams,but they never let me be me.)

Realist dreams.”

When i was younger they always told me, there is an endless possibilites, but now that i am older i can only be what they want me to be.

But i’ll never stop dreaming the dream that i know i can’t reach.

I am the girl with a dream...
