I held the dream with faithful hands,
The future built from fragile plans.
I thought if hope stayed long enough,
It might become the kind of love.
But dreams can turn into a cage,
When truth keeps waiting off the page.
And sometimes what you want so bad
Is only what your lonely had.
So I released the life I drew,
And found a self I never knew.
The old dream couldn't hold me tight—
I outgrew it into light.
