Dreams
of a Child…
We
know what’s in our hearts to be true
That
every once in a while
Dreams
do make it beyond our thoughts
To
the light of day of our everyday lives
Few
of us will ever admit the truth of our heart’s desires
The
fear of disappointment and rejection
Keeps
us stagnant unable to dream the dreams
We
once had as children and we leave our dreams behind
Only
to exist and not lead the lives we once imagined
Everyday
that passes a piece of who you are slowly dies
The
smile you once had becomes harder to find
The
loneliness that sleeps with you at nights
Now
walks with you in the day
And
I tell you this because I believe it to be true
Strip
away the superficial,
The idea of who you should be held by others shouldn't matter
Start
to be the person who lives in your dreams
Slowly,
that person will be who you are.
