Dreams

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
