Day Dreams

09' Poetry

I can only be me, regrets I have you can’t see
I believe in my dreams so I go to sleep
Drift away in a world that’s make believe
Awake from my slumber and start to day dream
Shackled in manners, boundaries I feel them
They are surrounding my outer skeleton
Into the clouds I drift in my mind
Remember these times, smiling, it’s sublime
Living a dream in my imagination
Awake to the truth and I begin to feel glum
I hide all my pain and you just couldn’t see
What I am hiding so you cannot judge me
Sitting here I stare into a colored screen
My minds in a thousand places I cannot be
My words are my weapons
Providing truth not deception
Life’s filled with harsh lessons
That I learned from suppressing
All of my inner pain and fiery rage
So I open a new chapter with a flip of page
Watch the sunset rise upon a new day
Into the clouds, up into the sky
So high – So high – so -- far away
