Downstairs

My Favorite Poems

I had a dream last night
A dream or nightmare
I'm not sure

Well I dreamt that I went down stairs
and I was forced to check in
The women was so nice and mean

She told me I could do no wrong
So I smiled for a minute
then realized where I was

If I could do no wrong why was I here
When I was down there I saw alot of friends
Alot of friends that left me long ago

I wasn't supposed to be there
What happend to me
How is it that I didn't stay upstairs

Downstairs wasn't so scary as everyone would say
But none the less I didn't belong
My place was upstairs

They told me I did...
I thought I was framed
But I framed myself I guess

I always said it
If it came down to it
I would take your place

I guess they heard me
and I cried for awhile
Knowing I will never see you

Then I remember smiling
just for a second
That's all they will allow

I smiled because I knew you were upstairs
You must have been saved
and I was the one who did it

I don't regret saying what I did
You were saved
that's all that mattered

Then I woke up
And I knew it was all a dream
I cried then too

I cried because it was a dream
and maybe I can't save you
It hurts me now

It was a horrible place downstairs
But if I have to go to save you
I will

People often tell me not to say that
But I say it now, and I wanna say it proud
I will do it

Not just for you
But for everyone
If I have to go downstairs for anyone

It has to be done
I think it's a part of being upstairs
A part of what makes me belong

If I had to go downstairs for you
I would without thinking
You don't deserve that treatment

I've went threw it in a dream
I guess now I'm ready
Remember me, from downstairs
