A Dream to Realize
My dreams have been destroyed.
Let me sleep so I can dream a new dream to replace the old.
I did not dream of a new car or moving out of my home.
I did not dream of war ending or peace on earth.
Not a dream of my prince coming or my true love's first kiss.
Not a dream of world hunger being resolved or where violence is no longer a problem.
In reality it was not a dream. It was not a vision nor a message from God.
It was a nightmare.
A nightmare where I am caged by iron bars of safety and security and I see an open window that screams freedom.
So badly I want this freedom.
Freedom so I can truly be who and what I want with no one to stop me!
Freedom where I won't be oppressed and held back by the hands who comfort me constantly and never let me run free.
Freedom.
Where nobody will keep me safe but let me be free.
Let me be free!
Free to run with my own legs!
Free to scream and yell.
Free to touch the sky and free to capture the stars!
Nothing will ever hold me back again if only I can be free.
Free to start something without someone telling me that I will fail.
Let me fail.
Let me try so that if I am doomed to failure let me be able to say i tried.
I tried to live my simple dream.
But I have failed.
Let me dream this new dream so that one day I may realize it.
