Dreams...
escape my mind
while sleeping
thoughts blank
non-existent
like me, like my life
not the life I want to live
fantasies of
happy people, happy thoughts
happy me
are distant, gone
in a never-ending fog
above the sea
of life
wanting to laugh, but only
having the ability to cry
wanting to hold someone
other than myself at night
never happening
like life, like my life
being in a world
without prejudice
loving regardless
never in this life
never having the opputunity
to be me
in my world
in my life
in my life of tormenting
pain
unrelenting pain
and yet
people say dream...
dreaming's not for me
wishing
nor believing
until I see
dreams coming true
in life
in my life
praying
hoping
maybe
but dreams
escape my mind
while I sleep
it escapes me
like life
like my life
