Simply Dreams


 

Its late at night, he is tossing and turning

screaming out in pain, not physical but emotional

tormenting but soothing

for he feels ths way every night

when he crawls in bed and shuts his eyes

and feels that he could die

from emotional torment of that day

of being called the names

feeling like he is to blame

for all the things that have happened that day

Everyday it is all the same

He say Hello in his brain

to girls he wishes he could talk to everyday

but it is all the same

for he feels that he is to blame

for the way he talks

the way he walks

the way he perceives things

and the reason that he dreams things

but they are all the same

just dreams nothing more

and nothing less

just simply dreams

that is all they will ever be

dreams of a world where he is wanted and loved

adored and held high upon a pedestal

where everyone can see the errors of their actions

and words that hurt him to the core

the very words that drive him to pursue a course

where he feels that he can change the course of his life

to better himself and his life

 to live his dreams and make them true

so they can be more than

just simply dreams
