Dreams

I used to dream about who I was meant to be
But it was all just a dream, not my reality
With no one to turn to, cause they couldn’t relate
I gave up on my dream and claimed it as fate
But the sadness grew deeper, burrowed itself into my soul
Playing tricks with my emotions, it started taking its toll
I tried to act happy but they knew I was lying
Cause when they looked in my eyes, they could see I was crying
Screaming and shouting, “Please let me out!”
For who I became, I knew nothing about
Ashamed and embarrassed, that was my me
It was never the person I dreamt I would be
The light in the tunnel grew seemingly dark
I wanted to move forward, but was stuck in park
The best years of my life were thrown to the side
Cause instead of choosing to fight, I decided to hide
But there came a point, it went on for to long
No more self pity, I had to get strong
Then came a voice inside of my head
“Breakthrough and live, cause inside your dead”
It was at that point I knew what I had to do
To free myself from hurting, and unto my self be true
