My dream for
Myself, is that I
Never dust myself
Off and put myself
Away on a shelf. I
Hope that wherever
I am, in the future
I’m happy, and continuing
To live like nobody’s
watching. But the fear,
that I’m near the end
Of my time here, too
Soon. Because each
June when I hear happy
Birthday I don’t know
What to say. Because,
It seems everything that
Makes me happy, is
Usually gone one day.
I can’t stay, in my happy
Place forever, but maybe
When I’m older my happy
Place will be better. I dream
For myself, that maybe I’ll
Move far away, but never
Truly leave where I came from.
I dream for myself, that I’ll stay
Up with the sun, and out with
The moon. I dream for myself,
That I don’t get done with my
Best years too soon. I dream
For myself, that people love
Me forever the way they do
Now. I dream for myself,
I never fall too short of
Someone to be around.
I dream for myself to
One day, have a home
That holds the sound
Of people of all ages
And relationship to me
Around it. I dream that
Everything that hurt once is
Faded away, and eventually
I’ll see the true meaning of
A brand new day. I dream
For myself, I’ll be able to
Sleep at night. I dream for
Myself, that I’ll continue to
Write when I can’t sleep
At night. I dream for myself
I’ll never let the unhappier
Version of me take my place
And cause us anymore mistakes.
I dream for myself, that I don’t
Ever have too much on my
Plate. I dream for myself,
That when I wake up I
Won’t need to dry my tears
Before I leave, because I’ll
Have nothing to cry about.
Because to me, that’s the
Dream that life is all about.
Even though it might
Sound, so overdone and
Said before I still hope that
My life continues to open
Doors, and afford me the
opportunity to be everything
I dream of myself to one day
Be and even more.
