My Dream

A poem of inspiration

My Dream

I’m going to fight on, with my heart set strong,

I won’t crumble, I won’t fall apart,

You’ve shown me the light, a constant burning spark

I will let go, finally breathe and clear my heart.

 

I’ve only got to ignore the pain and the hate,

Because the world we’ve dreamed to create

Just sits and waits for us to tear and to break.

I’m a dreamer whose dreams were taint,

But I will, no longer be put in restraint.

 

I have been hiding and out stretched for too long,

Though you tore it out of me and urged me to be strong,

I have tried with all my will to no longer be stuck glued to a standstill,

So I grasped to your extended hand,

I jumped and took that chance.

 

I’m sore and tired of what it’s all been like,

Because I’ve only seen it stained black and white.

And when all their words hurt and stung,

You told me don’t give up, life’s only begun.

Take my hand once again, and erase what has only been pain,

Thank you for being my umbrella in the pouring rain.

You are my only dream.

Inspiration is the perfect thing to put in your quote up there!! It's beautiful. I didn't seem to get the chance to see such a spirited author/girl in the other poems by you thus far, but this poem has many levels of inspiration where we get to see what you champion and what is most important to us.... humility, conviction, and Love. Beautiful poem, Anna. : ) That last line sealed an already wonderful poem you wrote.... : ) xoxo -Mark

Nice poem, I'm guessing it's about your boyfriend and he's the man of your dreams. I could be wrong though. Good write anyway, paints a picture of someone we dream of to pick us up when we are down.
