Dreams
When I was
a kid I
dream about being
a football player
but, that was
broken when I
found I could
not play football
because my heart mummer.
So I dream
about being a
wrestler but then
I found the
back of my
head will prevent
that so that
was another dream
that broken in half.
When I was
a kid I
dream about a
lot of things
but a lot of
dream was broken
or did not
work out.
When I was
I dream about
being something good
but right now
my dream is
on the fence
because I could
have at least
one dream coming
true when I
was 16. I
dream that maybe
I could get
my poetry published
one day.
So I going
to keep this
dream and hope
it doesn’t break
like the ones
in the past.
So I dream
til it comes
true or it breaks
like the rest
of them.
So I can
play football games
and make it
pretend it is me.
So I dream
til I cannot dream
anymore.
