Chasing a Dream

A Poem by StoryTailor

I'm chasing a dream,

It's so close to me, and I can taste it.

The change it could bring is immense.

But as long as this string is tied around,

My Torso,

The time and efforts are wasted through and through.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm grateful.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm free.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'd chase that dream.

Then things will be different, just you see.

Depending on how you care I might be there.

If I'm needed just for you I might not.

Is it truly need or just a misguided want?

Is it truly you or just a dream?

Depending on how you feel I might console you.

If you smile there's no need.

How am I to know that you want help,

When help is the last thing you want from me?

I'm chasing a dream,

It's so close to me, and I can taste it.

The change it could bring is immense.

But as long as this string is tied around,

My Torso,

The time and efforts are wasted through and through.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm grateful.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm free.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'd chase that dream.

Then things will be different, just you see.

Depending on how you talk I might just listen,

If you never speak there is no way.

Are you truly talking or was it just a whimper?

Is there even anything to say?

Depending on how you lead I might just follow,

If cannot then I will for you.

There is so much worth changing,

But only if you want it to be changed.

I'm chasing a dream,

It's so close to me, and I can taste it.

The change it could bring is immense.

But as long as this string is tied around,

My Torso,

The time and efforts are wasted through and through.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm grateful.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm free.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'd chase that dream.

Then things will be different, just you see.

Depending on how you love me I might love you,

If you do not show me what's the point?

Loving the shadow of a dream is such a danger,

But the danger is exactly the point.

Depending on how you joke I might just laugh,

If you are always stoic how can I?

Don't ask me for something you won't give me too,

You're too solemn to ask me for a smile.

I'm chasing a dream,

It's so close to me, and I can taste it.

The change it could bring is immense.

But as long as this string is tied around,

My Torso,

The time and efforts are wasted through and through.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm grateful.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm free.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'd chase that dream.

Then things will be different, just you see.

Depending on your worth I might just chase you,

If you're just a shadow I will not.

Chasing shadows hurts when you can't catch them,

But maybe that's the point to get across.

I'm chasing a dream,

It's so close to me, and I can taste it.

The change it could bring is immense.

But as long as this string is tied around,

My Torso,

The time and efforts are wasted through and through.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm grateful.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'm free.

If you'd just cut the strings for me,

I'd chase that dream.

Then things will be different, just you see.

Indecision, You seem indecisive with yourself as to whether or not to pursue something, something of great worth and value to you, and yet at the same time, something that you appear to be rather afraid of pursuing in its entirety. You seem almost gallant to go after this something, but only if its reward is great enough, in that you want it to benefit someone else as well as yourself.

I like how you took the concept of a dream and attempted to personify it as to reperesent somthing, someone? human.

I've always been impressed by your writing, and I guess this must be why.^^

keep it up.
