This poem was written when I was feeling down and alone. |
I lay awake at night thinking, wondering; dreaming On the outside I look calm and at peace but inside I'm steaming I ponder on the thoughts that were and also on the thoughts that could have been Even on the thoughts that might be I look up to the sky and try to focus my eyes so that I can see I look to the future for a better hope or for a better tomorrow I look and look but then turn my head aside, full of grieving sorrow I have lost all sense of hope and am in a daze Can't make out anything; everything all seems to be in glazed I have thoughts constantly running through my head Thoughts of happiness, sadness, excitement, and even dread Happy thoughts are what make my day Without them I couldn't live, there is no possible way Sad and depressed thoughts make me want to throw them into the sea Have them free from anybody, especially free from me Dreams make me want to run free and let the wind catch my hair I want to run into a different world where everything and everyone is fair I believe with all my heart that there is such a place For now I just got to live in this world , with it's ever so fast pace Dreams are my favorite and I don't know why It's like finding out that you are about to get a nice, warm piece of apple pie Dreams are what I love about sleeping I feel like I am on the other side of the door to the future; just constantly opening it and peeping Trying to see what lies ahead of me Not worried about what the future holds; not about to flee Dreams make me dwell in a distant land I see God holding my hand My dreams make reality seem far, far away Reality makes me want to not come back and stay Dreams... are what make up my own little place They make me forget about the world and it's ever so fast pace. |
