A Piece of Dream

I look behind to see my dream has shattered into a million pieces on the floor I knew that this was going to happen but didn't know it would hurt much more It was the only way this dream should end it wasn't one that had a hope it's better off in a million pieces I'm just not sure how to cope I know that I must now recover and learn to build my dreams again I just need to build them better and make them those I can attain I know the hurting will continue for a time at least but from my dream that lies here shattered I'll take from it one piece It's something that I'll carry forward into my new dream I must take for it's the thought of possibilities this piece of dream did wake But it's the image my dream created is that which hurts the more I think it's this that lies in tatters strewn across the floor.

Many, if not all, have experienced such a crushing blow. I, too, know this. The key words in this piece thru the sadness: "Carry Forward". Well done.
