There's what you dream of

There's what you dream of

A Poem by Elwina

There’s what you dream of

And there’s what you receive

And I know dreaming

Can be deceiving

Or hurtful

 

There’s what you want

And there’s what you get

And it’s true

That it takes an effort

To honestly welcome

Anything that crosses your way

For simply what it is

 

And some can get lost

In impossible expectations

Searching for something

That will never come

 

But there is a difference

Between concealing dreams

With reality

And running away from them

When they come knocking on your door

Because you’re so scared

That they might slip away

Through your fingers

Right when

You finally

Make the choice

To grab them

 

I will never

Choose to be

Disillusioned

 

I will never choose

To settle down

To a lower option

Because it’s easier to lose faith

Than keep on believing

 

So next time you see me

Look right into my eyes

And know that I will speak those words:

“I will never accept

Nor support

Your actions

Under resignation”

 

Dreams may seem an enemy

To reality

But there’s one worst

And that’s fear my dear


You keep coming back to me

Because a part of you still desperately wants

To look into my eyes

And feel that your dreams

Are still possible to realize


You will wake up one day

And when all the fire

That I love so much

Has finally burned out

You will feel empty

Like you have never felt before

 

There’s what you dream of

But more important darling

They’re what you decide

To make your dreams become

Closer to reality

"And some can get lost
In impossible expectations
Searching for something
That will never come"

You will wake up one day
And when all the fire
That I love so much
Has finally burned out
You will feel empty
Like you have never felt before

There’s what you dream of
But more important darling
They’re what you decide
To make your dreams become
Closer to reality"


Last night I didn't have a dream?

Maybe dreams are just the extension of hope
from your day?

Oh god, that doesn't sound to good
does it?

This was amazing Claire!
I Loved it!

This is a amazing poem. So much strength in the words.
"You keep coming back to me
Because a part of you still desperately wants
"To look into my eyes
And feel that your dreams
Are still possible to realize"
The people who dance through our life only giving enough to satisfy and they run. Some sweet dreams may fade away. Leaving us alone. I like this poem. You told a powerful story with a good ending. A excellent poem.
