In my dream

Would this world be a better place if there were no me?

In my dream, I saw my mom,

Living the life she always deserved.

She was so happy with the man she loved,

Living every dream she once gave up.

 

In my dream, I saw my dad,

And for the first time, he wasn’t mad.

He sailed a boat across the land�"

The freedom of the sea, finally in his hands.

 

In that dream, I saw a world.

In the mirror, there was no me.

Everyone looked so happy,

And the pieces fit perfectly.

 

I slept the whole night that day,

My fragile tears breaking like clay.

I woke up and saw something�"

In the mirror, but that wasn’t me.

 

Is that dream still true?

Do you think I’m better off lost?

Do I let my demons paint me blue?

And wonder how much better it would be

If only I were nowhere to be seen?

I didn’t like that dream. The world is a better place you in it. So that dream wasn’t probably good.
You are not responsible from anyone’s happiness. Especially your parents. Since you don’t have any kid, you only responsible from your happiness.
If you weren’t here how would we read these great poems?!?!

What a beautiful sight to see you alive, and witnessing your poems! That’s the dream we want.


(I mean you are a great poet as always, I don’t even think i can make comments on how you write, you are a catch.) Proud of you!

First of all, I understand you. I relate to this poem a little too much, to every single line so I can understand how you feel exactly, wondering if the world would be better without you, if you are a breath too much but let me tell you you are not. You deserve to be where you are and the world would never be a better place without you. Secondly, I want you to imagine your friends not listening to your jokes, not hanging out with you, not talking about what happened the previous day with you, not sharing exciting news with you, terrible right? What would they do without you? Imagine your parents not being able to show their love to you, not helping you with your struggles, not having dinner with you, sounds terrible once again right? What would they do without you? Imagine us not reading your beautiful work, such as this poem which has such a strong meaning, absolutely terrible, right? What would the whole world do without you? Basically what I want you to understand is that you matter, you make a great impact in this world just by living but you have done even more and you deserve to be happy, to be loved! So no, no one would be happy if you weren't here, NOTHING would be perfect without you! You are an amazing, beautiful, kind, talented human being! Please don't consider doing anything and if you want you can talk to me any time, just mail me. You were gifted with the talent of writing spectacular pieces, please keep writing, you write beautifully. And always remember that dream as a nightmare, because a world without you would be h3ll.
