I can dream, right?
I see the stars in the sky
and I feel the heat burning inside
But I do not feel the impossibility
The failure in reaching my goal
Time has taken its toll
What was once blissful naivety
Is now a thoughtful whole
But I still dream
I dream about my journey to the stars
The fun and the preparation
With anxieties and aspirations
For even if burnt scars and painful marks are in my fate
My ability to dream is not lost to date
And I still dream
Dream about what-ifs and then whats
About interactions, actions, and reactions
So what if they never culminate
And it doesn't matter if conversations are mind generated
I still want to dream
For dream drives my passion, mission, and inner inhibition
To keep the motor running to keep the spirits alive
Rejections, dejections, are all part and parcel
That doesn't stop me from providing that shine and sparkle
Dreams are the purpose of my life
Desires, drivers, may make me tired
For I am the shining star
Burning inside
Dreams are just the beginning of my painted picture.
