To Those Who Dream


You are not invisible

not in any way, shape, or form.

I know you see things differently.

you dont have a "set in stone" way of thinking.

You think of evrything, possibly, too often.

You want things in life so badly,

you dream about it all,

you take it all in slowly,

yet too fast for you to grasp it all the first time around.

people do notice you,

they see the stars you have in your eyes

and that far away look you have when you are lost in a sea of dreams

a sea so vast that, for you, there are endless possibilities.

to those of you who do dream,

dont ever stop.

never let society ruin your beautiful mind.

always dream.

always be true to yourself.

swim in your sea of dreams with no desire to reach the shore.

I am currently eighteen years old. When I was seven years old, I was removed from my home by DHS and placed in the children's shelter. Upon leaving there, i went to a foster home in Springdale. I was only in second grade, and i was starting at my third school that year. After a while at my foster home, i was placed in the care of my aunt and uncle whom later adopted me. When i was fifteen I moved in my biological mother and a few months later she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We lived in an RV for about two years, and i now live with my sister in Bentonville. Three days ago i found out that my biological father, who i never got the chance to meet, passed away August 3, 2014. He has five other children. After counting all of my siblings, I have twenty siblings. I have had a hectic life, but I am doing everything I can to make it slightly less crazy. I am currently a senior in high school. I am hoping to graduate on time, go to college, and get my doctorates in psychology.
